dont call me smiley
I just found out my high school principal died about 6 months ago. I will pray for him but I always thought he was one of those phony guys. Always happy smiling and outgoing, and dissapointed or disgusted with me for not being like him. He always used to pass everyone in the hall and it was all enthusiasm and smiles until he got to me. Then it was a disappointed look and a rolling of the eyes and then "Oh... hi there smiley", like it was painful for him to have me rain on his parade. In high school everybody always used to ask me what was wrong, or used to tell me not to be so serious or cheer up or stop thinking so much. I wonder if now that he's dead he knows the truth about me. I hope he would understand.
