One day Mario went to visit his nephew, Mark(me) in California from NYC. Mark told him about musical theater camp at Saint Francis High, and how he played Rooster from "Annie" and sang songs from Dam Yankees, Grease, A Chorus Line, and other musicals. Then he added how one of the counselors said to Mark'sister that he was mean to him, even though he wasn't, and his sister made fun of him without any hypocritical awareness.
Then Mario got sick of listening and showed Mark a fireball and Mark shut up about his problems and continued to help others through their hard times with a joke every few minutes, but behind his mask of humor and joy there was a boy who lived in the past and regretted how childhood had happened so sadly. But Mark would think about it when he had his chances and realized that instead of pretending that comments didn't bother him, it was better to let people know you were bothered and to please shut up instead of hiding feelings so he followed this rule and the joy that used to hide his feelings became his feelings and everyone was happier. And Mario went back to New York.
THE END
Act your age, not your I.Q. Wait, what''s the difference?
