Kick And Cry
Annmarie Throckmorton, M.A.
My perception of my late mother's interpersonal skills is that she would often sneak up on people, metaphorically kick them in the shin, then run away crying that they did not like her. I was always flummoxed as to how to comfort her in this, especially as the one with a sore shin was often me and additionally, if one tried to comfort her she would lash out unkindly to bite the hand that fed her pity.
