I can't wait to see her stand up to Morelli and her mother ;) patay

MA is a wise kid. I'm so glad Stephanie is encouraging her, especially when her mother doesn't.
It's important that Steph realizes that she needs to follow her own path as well.
Will there be more? Please?

Great start. Mary Alice didn't have any difficulty in identifying Mrs. Plum and Morelli as browbeaters.

I’m with Steph. Go for the pasture. And God bless Mary Alice for being such a cool kid.

Bravo Mary Alice.
It's ok to be different.
Will Steph listen to the advice her niece gave?

I love your stories! Can’t wait for more!

I m looking forward to Steph standing up for herself! Great start!

Sometimes what we need most in life is an epiphany. For me it was hearing Steve Jobs 2005 Stanford address. There is this line - "Don't live someone else's life.." and what followed in that paragraph that really grabbed my brain and shook me up. I re-arranged my whole life after realizing I was living a life that I thought I was "supposed" to live based on a dogma I never bought into. And I've had a ball ever since! It will be interesting to see how this Steph handles the same epiphany!

Awesome start! Can’t wait for Steph to stand up for herself.

Keep going. This sounds like the making of a really good story! The things we learn from kids. We should laten a little harder:-)

Go Mary Alice

Interesting start. Hope Stephanie takes it to heart what MA said to her. Hope there's more to this story. Great job!

Now, do something about it!
Cindy

Great start. I hope there is more. Thank you!
