Tsk tsk, Miss Venus

Today, a kid at work started crying because another kid said something untrue about him. As usual, I asked him to calm down first and talk about it.

And then I told him “you don’t need to cry… crying doesn’t make anything better, does it?”

Thinking I was mad at him, he said “no Miss Venus”.

I was shocked at myself. I was telling this child not to cry when crying is a natural form of release, something that I, myself, do to get rid of some emotional baggage.

Sorry sweetheart. You cry your heart out whenever. Miss Venus is silly.
