oh darling

Oh darling Oh darling,


Keep your words in. Don't be opinionated. 
Speak only when spoken to.
Stand to the right side only, don't even think about stepping in front.
Place your napkin on your lap.
You have a reputation to uphold. 
Do as instructed. 
Shoulders back. 
Chin up. 
Eyes straight.
Get your elbows off the table. 
You want the prize, you have to stay focused? 
Drink your morning tea.
Agree to all dates, "they put them selves out there" 
NEVER forget your umbrella. The sun is awfully bright. 
Say thank you, even when no thanks is needed. 



Oh darling Oh darling,

I have a new plan for you,
throw your napkin on the ground. 
Slump your shoulders and strut out. 
Show some sass & care, dare, stare.

Be 17 and sassy

  2. "Say thank you, even when no thanks is needed."

    I don't know why, but this is my favorite line.
