I realized this when the fashion director at work rushed down 15 flights of stairs in a panic when she heard an alarm outside and thought the terrorists were attacking, and I mentally went, “_Ha_-ha!” Who’s your Inner Child? Shirley Temple? Rhoda from _The Bad Seed_? Bart, or Lisa? Tootie from _Meet Me in St. Louis_? Alfalfa? Buckwheat? ---

My inner child is The Baby NinetyWt[sup]TM[/sup]. She’s a lot like … uh … Punky Brewster. [sub]what? why you lookin’ at me like that?? [/sub] The one I have a problem with is my Inner Adolescent. Sheesh, what a Beee - Yotch !!! She’s all the time full of crazy notions like eating half a chocolate cake, scratching out up at the C-store, or drinking 6 beers in one sitting. Good thing we also have the Inner Adult working as the Policewoman. She’s not afraid to kick that slut with the tattoed @$$ and nosering into the corner when it’s warranted. heh. ---
