It just occurred to me that not everyone likes me. Aaaand some of those people might read my blog. And! They might then think derisive, nasty thoughts about me while reading things like how I cried on the first day of kindergarten, which I must say seems awfully mean of them. You don’t have to like me but could you not be nasty about the panic of a four-year-old?
But it seems I rarely am able to make other people do what I want them to do (witness: husband still leaves his sweaters all over the living room), and these hypothetical haters could still be bad-thinking my vulnerable posts. Shocking! And alarming! Perhaps cause for changing the tone around here?
Like, I could go back to writing about poop. It would be a nice, safe break from all the talk of crying.

Are you kidding me? Someone gave you grief about your kindergarden post? Pardon me whilst I chant “I am a pacifist.” to myself for a while.
“Perhaps cause for changing the tone around here?”
… soooooo: In response to a feeling that you can’t influence someone else, you’re going to let _them_ influence _you_?
I’m not sure I like that logic….
What!! The kindergarten post was awesome. I was right there with you and felt it too. It made me think of my own time as a 4 year old in kindergarten.
If you give in to the terrorists they have already won.
