Do you know a grouch??


My grandfather was a grouch. He'd complain about everything!

A moment I will never forget. I was always kind of grouchy towards a teacher, for several justified reasons. She wasn’t always kind, and I felt that deeply. But one day she quietly scooted down and tied my shoelaces. We’re all a work in progress, and I’m learning not to let my heart harden.

Sometimes I am a grouch. I call myself "Negative Nellie." I defiantly see the glass half empty, not half full.
