"Hey, you've changed. What's different about you?"

"Um, nothing really. I mean I've been trying to stay positive."

"Oh, well. I liked the old you better. Can you like......I dunno......change back?"

"Well, what do you mean? Am I not allowed to be happy anymore?"

"Sorry to break it to you, but yea. I mean unless everyone else is happy, then you can't be."

"Okay sorry for offending you by my personal emotions. I mean it isn't illegal, and even if it was, it is a law worth breaking. I am sorry for smiling and trying to be bright and be someone's sunshine."

"Kay, well as long as you understand that, then um, I am done. Just please, stop smiling so much.

"Yup."

i made sure i happily popped the "p" and grinned

the idiocy of humanity
