Romance Designer was still smiling at the good news her neighbor had given her a few days ago... about a year ago, she had been having a neighborly chat and as she listened to all the 'good works' that young 'Defender' was putting her hand to, Romance Designer had said, "You should enter her in the Dove Self- Esteem contest. Just write in and tell them about your daughter 'fund-raising to buy a cow for Africa' and tell them all about her trials having to deal with the meanness of people who tell her how she would be prettier if she lost some weight...
"Only 12 girls get picked throughout all of Canada," 'Defender' Mom said doubtfully.
"Apply," said Romance Designer.
Once year later...
"Guess what!" 'Defender' Mom said with slightly more confidence than a year ago, "Lexi was chosen to be one of the 12 girls for that 'Dove' campaign. We're going to Toronto for a photo shoot this May."
"That is wonderful!"
As the paintbrush covered the dovetailed hand- cut joints with fresh white paint, Romance Designer smiled with satisfaction, 'Any nobody can be a somebody someday! Sometimes it just takes the joint effort of good, solid dovetailed people to resist being pulled apart by the mean comments of insecure and small- hearted people.'
With a happy hum, Romance Designer lifted her paint brush in Maestro form.
