Last year my daughter (she’s 12) was bullied non-stop. She held up extremely well considering. School started this week and the first day they were on her again… that night we hatched a plan which so far has not had to be implemented.

“How’s the picking on you girls doing?’ I asked.

“Not so bad today,” she said. “They aren’t saying much since that last time and the one who called me a dork? I happened to glance at her right when she was being a dork,” she said with a big grin.

“Yeah? Like what?’

“She had her eyes rolled back and she was doing this,” she said, making a woo-woo sound and patting her mouth with her hand like a kid playing “Indian”.

I snorted. “Did she see you see her?”

“Yeah,” she smiled.

“What’d she do?”

“She put her hands down real quick like this,” she said, crossing her arms. And she looked like this,” she said with a caught acting stupid look on her face. My daughter in contrast looked ultra keen.

“I don’t think those girls are going to messing with you for long this year,” I said. ‘They’ll find a much easier target and when they do help her out, would you?”

She nodded. Later we were talking about the soldier.

“Oh he’s a little pissed right now or disappointed I guess you’d say. He thought he was coming here tomorrow… it was very close but now he’s not.” I explained the circumstance.

“Yeah, fate. Sometimes it tricks you,” she said. ‘God, or fate or the universe or whatever plays tricks like that. Messes you up.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah, like when I looked over and saw that girl acting stupid.”

My daughter is Gemini with a keen mind. She is Scorpio rising with Pluto conjunct and can see right through you. With Jupiter in Sadge and loves to expound her philosophy…

Ever caught your enemy pants down like that?
