A little kindness can go a long way is all I'm saying. What would it have hurt those girls to include me in their game at recess? Were they afraid I'd follow them home? That my limp would somehow rub off on them? Their rudeness hurt me then and it hurts now, still. But I think it hurt them, too. 'Cause they never got to learn that they were wrong about me.
