This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Mostly when I tell her what to do.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Like, she thinks fashion disasters are, like, the worst thing ever to happen. So she gets really angry when I tell her what to wear, and yeah... May gets very angry a lot. And her face turns red and yeah.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I was like so frustrated. I had a big tantrum.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I usually do this with my fist.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Yeah. And I was like jumping and jumping and twitching my legs.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I told my mom that's the only way for me to calm down.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I said, I want to punch you in the face and that's the only way I can calm down.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Um, I want to kind of think about that. Um, you can punch me in the butt instead.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I was like, okay? And then I just tried it.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I punched it hard because, like, to try to get all the anger out. Because if I punched it softly, it sort of only lets a couple pieces of the madness out of you.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Yes, because I punched it super hard. She definitely hit it very hard.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Um, I'm used to having a lot of siblings and I get beat up by them all the time, so it didn't really hurt me.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I don't know.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

I don't really know why she acted nice to me when I was frustrated.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

That's funny.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

And she got what she wanted, so I think that made her happy.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Yeah. I've been here for six. I've been with her for six years of my life. I know her pretty well. I've known her for her whole life. So I could watch a whole entire movie about her in my mind.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Uh, what's your favorite color?

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Can you say Zmujanski? That's how you say it.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

Zmil Jenski. Z-M-U-D-C-Z-Y-N-S-K-I.

This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness

It's sort of a funny story. So my sister told me to wear long sleeves. I mean short sleeves because it was like summer. And I wanted to wear long sleeves. And I just got mad. Yeah. And I also said stop bossing me around. So she really didn't like it and she has a very fiery temper.
