When I was in kindergarten, I would draw pictures of dragons and give them to girls, saying "I drew you a picture of a dragon, it's not very good". And of course they would say "Oh no, this is a great dragon, thank you so much!" Very deliberate on my part.
If you think I am deliberately manipulating people: You are giving me waaaay too much credit for Machiavellian savvy I absolutely don't have. I'm just amazingly stressed out and losing my shit Cuz Reasons.
But I hope you got lots of kindy dates and held hands often. Go, you.
