You get flustered in an amusing way without actually becoming upset or hurt.

He said, "Tell me a story about that." (When he doesn't understand something, he wants me to explain it as a story.) So he and I went into our hallway and I told how you all play Monster and your son hid by bracing against the walls, and I did it! I braced myself against our walls. For about 2 seconds. It's really hard! Your son is amazing!Jennifer (ponderosa)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17712875613623664156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1132689843609514512005-11-22T15:04:00.000-05:002005-11-22T15:04:00.000-05:00I.
