Little Me

"The unexamined life is not worth living."
                                                 Socrates

I was one of four children, and, along with my brother Joe, was labeled "serious".
My older sister Carol and youngest brother Andrew were the funny ones.
It's hard to be labeled at a young age, because you tend to believe the title,
and take it on as your role in life.
Yes, I was sensitive, a bit introverted and definitely shy,
but today I tend to feel protective toward that little girl
and love her for her sweetness.

And now I relish my sense of humor,
which was always there.
