Lol! Make my ice cream lactose-free, please. Thanks for the fun way to "rule the world" and reintroduce the Warm Fuzzies to life. Although my kindergarten wasn't nearly as nice as your description!
Congratulations on the win!!

Aww! Just imagine how much better I could have been. Thank you! I'm even sitting straighter just for you, trying to imitate my dancer friend.

Comment from Quoiky
I loved it. All the way through. The warm fuzzies and the cold prickles got me. How can anyone disagree with simply being nice!
The only thing I would criticize is in the 4th paragraph. I think you meant to say 'titled' instead of 'entitled'. They mean two very different things.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks. I'll go back and check that when I'm done with replying to my reviews. Always appreciate feedback and suggestions. Thank you for the additional star, too. Very generous!! (and warm fuzzy-ish!!)

This is a great entry for the contest, loved your solution of how to change attitudes. This should work. But (sorry for the prickly word), I would like to see you take it one step further and add a section on how to change actions. Holding my breath for a revision. Kate xx

There's no prickly words there! That's a helpful suggestion! I always appreciate those. So, thank you!
Comment from royowen
I guess that's why we talk of our "inner child", I don't think any of us want to ever grow up, so, the best time to be in, no responsibility, little accountability, our most adorable "cuteness" is in the first four years of life, one only has to see the reaction of ladies in the church. Great post, good luck, blessings Roy

Comment from Thomas Blanks
I hear you. This story resonated with me as I try to live this way. I know Yoda said, "Try not. Do or do not. There is no try." The reason I say that I try is that I sometimes fail to be nice because it is not always easy. I live in South Florida. in parking lots down here, people think they can just walk out in front of cars, and the cars have to stop. I was raised that you could get killed doing that. When I stop and look, the driver waves me across, and I wave. Several times the driver has rolled down the window and said, "Thank you for being nice," or "Thank you for acknowledging me." One day in the grocery store, an older woman had about $20 worth of stuff in front of me. When she tried to pay, she realized she had forgotten her wallet. I stuck my card into the slot and said, "I'll pay for your stuff, so you don't have to come back." That woman broke down and cried that someone was being nice to her! Thank you for what you wrote.

Yoda would be so proud of you. (And I'm proud of you, too!) You gave her so much more than $25, you know. You gave her a reason to believe in humankindness again.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Nicely written. Good work.
I would never get out of kindergarten. I would fail every year.
But playing nice and being kind are commendable goals.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Anne Johnston
I love your idea. As I read it I remembered a friend who always referred to it as "Kindergarden", and I wondered if breaking those words apart, into Kinder Garden would fit your idea of everyone showing kindness.

I love your story. Just be nice. Words to live by but as we age and go through our struggles we get a tad jaded. We can be nice in spurts. Conscious efforts to help and be kind are an effort. I tried to smile and say something nice for lent one season. It was a lot tougher than I anticipated. Great story and I'd vote for you.

Wow, now THAT's quite the Lent idea! Way better than giving up chocolate!! I'm impressed. And I hear what you say about it being more difficult than it would seem! Thanks for a really good review --specific and helpful-- but also encouraging. I appreciate it.

Comment from lancellot
This is an interesting idea. But there is some work to do with the execution. You must add paragraph spacing and do some addtional editing.
notes:
I'd start by reminding the populous �¢?"my "constituents," if you will�¢?" the importance of "warm fuzzies" {�¢?"words} that feel {good�¢?"} when talking to others rather than "cold {pricklies" �¢?"words} that hurt.
- edit
When you spend time deliberating about how to be kinder to others while noticing what they're doing that's nice, you {�¢?"very easily�¢?"} form your own solid foundation of kindness and joy.
- edit
So, please let me rule the world. We'll live our best lives {�¢?"like Kindergarteners�¢?" }infused with warm fuzzies every day...and then we'll get ice cream for dinner.
