You could call froggie high strung. He had a lot on his mind. His father was away a lot and kids generally wanted to tease him. You know how kids are. Some kids take their problems and frustrations out on other kids. The problem with froggie was he was hurting a lot. He was afraid a lot. And he was teased a lot. His usual reaction was venting. Venting his anger and frustration always made him feel better. He never aimed it at anyone in particular. Just getting it out of his system so to speak made him feel better. One day while he was tossing a coin a brilliant idea came to him. What if I make a mural and put it in my front yard and every time I get teased or feel anger I write the words ditoo on it. I bet I would feel better and wouldn’t have to scream and yell. So froggie built the most beautiful mural anyone had ever seen in his father’s front yard and every time he got teased or picked on he wrote the word ditoo on his mural and he always felt better.
Footnote
Sometimes kids will tease you or push you into doing something and if you tell your mom they did it they’ll say they didn’t and know they did and that leaves you even more angry and hurt and confused because they are saying you did things that you simply didn’t cause yourself to do. Someone with “better” skills caused you to and now they’re denying it and sneering at you knowing they got you in all that hot water. So the moral of the story is don’t be a trouble maker. Don’t ever ever play with a trouble maker because you will always get in trouble and the trouble maker will be “smart” enough to deny it .
