What Planet are you from?

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM?

Vivie had two older brothers who liked to play sports and video games.
The three of them would play soccer in their back yard after school.
When Vivie was at school she played with the boys.
Her mother would try to dress her in pink dresses but she stopped when she noticed that Vivie would come home with grass stains on her pink dresses.
So Vivie just wore blue jeans and a t-shirt
At school when the students were outside playing the boys would play soccer. But the girls would play house.
Vivie didn’t understand why the girls would want to play house. Neither did the boys who wanted to play soccer.
Vivie was never the first one picked to play but she was picked.
The boys didn’t understand why more girls weren’t like Vivie.
One day when the students were getting their book bags ready to go home. Stephanie, a girl with pig tails and a nice yellow dress came up to Vivie.
“What planet are you from? Stephanie asked.
Vivie knew she was on the planet earth but she wasn’t quite sure how to answer the question.
“I am from this one.” Vivie answered.
Stephanie shook her head. “You’re weird.”
This made Vivie mad.
“I maybe weird but at least I am not like you.”
Stephanie stomped her foot like most angry little girls do and went running to the teacher.
Vivie didn’t know if she would be in trouble so she just stood there and waited for her name to be called by the teacher.
Vivie was surprise to find out that Stephanie was the one who had gotten into trouble.
The teacher had had a long day and she told Stephanie to use her nice words.
Vivie smiled and look forward to the ride home from school, because at home Vivie could play with her two older brothers.
Vivie got into her mother’s car and told her about Stephanie.
“I’ve wondered what planet I was from when I used to make you wear pink dresses to school.” Vivie’s mother said.
They both laughed as they drove off to pick up Vivie’s older brothers.
Vivie and her two older brothers played soccer while their mom fixed dinner.
Dad got home from work so mom called Vivie and her two older brothers to the table for dinner.
While they were all at the dinner table dad asked about their day.
Vivie told him about Stephanie and the teacher.
“Well, did you ask what planet she was from?” Vivie dad asked.
Vivie replied, “No.”
Thomas, one of Vivie’s older brothers said, “Most girls are weird.”
Their dad laughed.
“You know we are all different that is what makes life so interesting.” Vivie’s mom said.
“Your mother is right, no two children are the same and that is how it is in the adult world too.”
Vivie smiled. “I like that we are all different.”
