Founder of the Happy Kids Club, right here! |
You know, a lot of the time, the Cool Kids Club gets all the press. Everybody either wants to be in the Cool Kids Club, or they don't want any part of the Cool Kids Club.
I'm not really sure what it means to be in the Cool Kids Club, or how you get to be cool. I think I'm cool, but I think that to be Cool, there has to be some kind of consensus on the matter that does not come from within. I'm not sure what makes the consensus, or if you can quantify or qualify coolness or Coolness. It just kinda happens.
That's all well and good, Big People. I can accept that. But I don't wanna spend my life being defined by other people. I just don't Like I said, I think I'm cool. I'm not sure what anybody else thinks of me, and it isn't really any of my business. I like people to like me, but if somebody doesn't, it doesn't ruin my day or anything.
What I'm saying is I don't think I can say 'Hey, Cool Kids! I wanna be in your club!' and have it be so. In fact, I think that would be kind of counter-productive.
This is my solution, then: The Happy Kids Club. In the end, I'd rather be Happy than be Cool, yeah? And I get to define definitively whether or not I'm Happy. It's all me. And. You can be a member of my Happy Kids Club, too, Friend. All's you need to do is put on a smile and say "I wanna be in the Happy Kids Club!' and it'll be so.
Don't think you have to have your Happy cranked up to eleven every day to be in the Happy Kids Club. It doesn't work like that. Even I'm not super-happy all the time. When I'm feeling less than happy, I acknowledge the feelings and work through them, but I don't wallow in feeling miserable, mean, or mad. Mostly, I'm a happy person.
So what do you think, Friends? Does my Happy Kids Club sound great? Do you wanna be in it?
Whether you do or not, I sure do love the heck right outtaya, Friends! I love ya lots! I'll be seein' ya tomorrow! Muah!
