Mothers Advice

When she was but a child in school she tried to follow every rule. She always stood up tall and straight so smart and tidy...they did hate, and picked upon her none-the-less. The reasons…she n’er had a guess. Seems every day they taunted her but then a thought began to stir… A pretty little girl was she as she sat at her mother’s knee. Her mother said “When they taunt you, just smile until the taunt is through. Give them a chance to smile, if not… give a black eye, to the whole lot!”
