Probably, I'm in love
But, it could be brain damage.
lol... one of my favorite things to say (in the day) was:
"It must be love, if it was poison ivy, I'd be itching by now."
;)
lol... this is lovely, and that photo, you look like the first boy I had a hankering for ... Joey Whitehead... ;) little boy in Highland View, Florida... yeah... i"m a Florida girl. ;) opposite coasts, lookie there. ;)

If that's you in the picture, no wonder the girls followed you. As for bullying, you prove the point- a sharp tongue and quick wit can save you. Interesting fickleness of friends who turned on you when you proved your own in battle.

I was talking to one of the writers here about that tonight. We as writers have this strange confidence I think because of our way with words. That seems to scare and confuse people because we aren't afraid when they think we should be. hahaha. They think we are crazy I think. That always comes in handy! It always amazed me that anyone would back down from my harmless little self. Fear of having a poem written about them!! mikey
Comment from ravenblack
It could be brain damage- hah! I swear, we must be related somehow. My bully story virtually parallels yours- I broke the neighbour kid's arm- not quite in the same way, but he never teased me anymore. And my mouth? It got me out of many scrapes, often leaving the bully too befuddled and exasperated in front of classmates to be able to do anything about it without being embarrassed. And I would take on any who were bullying anybody. Another exceptional write.

I think that the ability to use language so well gives us a crazy brave edge over people. people are very reluctant to engage me. it cracks me up. I am just a little guy. I guess I look so confident and insane that it is scary. hahaha. Yep. Bully me, whatever. But, don't think of doing it to anyone else. mikey

I don't usually bother for myself. But, I am like you. Don't mess with my family or friends or really anybody else or you will have to deal this crazy boy. Glad you are enjoying this, so am I!! mikey
Comment from Green Lake Girl
I really enjoy your written memories. It sounds like you were an interesting and likable kid. I LOVED that you broke the bully's arm. He had it comin'! It always amazes me when I hear stories of bullies finally backing off after they themselves have been hurt. It seems that must be the only language they understand. My nephew was bullied. I wish he could've broken some arms. Very well done story.

Bullies seek weakness. Once they discover they haven't found it they back off. I have found that most of them are bluffing. I'll step up for anyone being bullied. I hate it. The lowest form of human behavior. mikey

Glad you are enjoying this. I was a strange kid really. I kind of raised my self really. I never did put much stock in authority. I thought some of my teachers weren't too bright. I was correct. ha! mikey
Comment from cinderbella
In other words, you were a real shit-disturber. You didn't get in trouble yourself, just instigated it from behind the scenes. lol
I loved "The Little Blue-Eyed Girl", especially the ending.
So when you were goaded long enough, you broke the guy's arm? HaHa.. I would say they learned not to pick on you.
The last poem "Love?" is wonderful. The ending is both surprising and hilarious.
I am enjoying reading about the very young, womanizing shit-disturber. :) Sandra

I thought of myself as more of a Social Director in charge of entertainment for all! It took months. It is hard to get me mad. But, once I am mad it is insanely mad. hahaha. I should write about the stuff I am leaving out. But, I love my freedom. mikey
Comment from nancy_e_davis
This is better. Not so long. I dislike bullies. Had one in grade school taunting one of my little girl friends that wore glasses. I kayoed him and he jumped on me and nearly choked me to death. It took the Cozart twins to get him off me. That was fifth grade too. After that they called me prise fighter. Eugene quit bullying after that. LOL
Very good Michael. Nancy

Kept looking at word count. hahaha! You should write your story. That sounds like a good one. The Cozart twins! Classic. What a great nickname, Prize Fighter. Awesome. They used to call me Showboat amongst other things. Glad you enjoyed this, mikey
Comment from Patrick G Cox
Hi michaelcahill,
Growing up in an abusive family took resilience and a certain chameleon ability I think - it certainly did in my case.
I found this fascinating, I guess today you'd have been whisked off by a social worker. I share your view that bullies aren't worth the trouble, and like you, the one time I retaliated, I ended up getting caned.

We do learn a lot that is true. Much of it is things we can use in life. It is unfair as you point out. But, bullying is the lowest form of human behavior and it takes on many forms. Thoughtful and insightful comments. Thank you kindly, mikey
