Smile and Nod

  Smile and nod, a tactic no one should live without. It can avoid many conflicts and is fairly simple to use. Recently I have found simply smiling and nodding harder to accomplish than usual. Sometimes you feel the need to say something, but when you are a child it is easier said than done.
  Now, as I mention in my life as a timelord (link at the top of the page) I have had to disguise myself as a regular teen, and you know what, it sucks sometimes. As far as rank goes, I'm at the bottom. There are so many times that I want to say something, but simply can't, because it is a grown up situation that I have no business being a part of. Instead of saying the many things I long to say I find myself having to smile and nod.
  No matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to master talking about my feelings towards a certain adult without sounding snippy. Part of me doesn't want to be civil, and it would seem that part controls my tone of voice. To be completely not modest, I'm smart for my age. Sometimes I want to converse with adults like an adult, regardless of my age. I know I shouldn't, but I still think about it occasionally.
   I see adults behaving poorly and I find myself thinking, "If you were my age I would say, 'Hey you're being a bit rude'". Being disguised as a teenager, these are words I simply can't say. When adults are rude to my mom, I feel especially flippant. I love my mother with all my heart and can't stand when people act like jerks to her. I want to stand up for her, because she has always stood up for me, but I can't. It drives me nuts. I am a person who generally cares for a wide range of people, but it would seem if they're not my age, I can't help them.
    Adults, I think sometimes you forget what kind of thoughts run through a teenage mind. It's not just hormones and stress bouncing around inside our brains. We are thoughtful people, who love our parents to bits, even though some of us have trouble showing it. Don't underestimate us. You have no idea how much we feel we have to use the smile and nod on you adults. Besides, you never know how many of us are actually timelords in disguise.

Doctor Who Quote

Captain Jack won't take no for an answer. Thought it kind of went with what I wrote today.

Worker:You're not allowed in there. Archive Six is out-of-bounds.
Captain Jack (pulls out a gun): Do I look like an out-of-bounds sort of guy?
