Stiff Upper Lip

Growly Bear and Princess Kitty have been looking at possible new homes for Princess Kitty. It is hard choose. It is hard to nearly choose one then lose it. That has happened to Princess Kitty already.

Growly Bear says it is best not to become emotionally attached until the deal is done. Like when you have a pet, maybe a guinea pig or two. You should not fall in love with them until they are yours.

Princess Kitty knows this is sensible advice. She knows Growly Bear is right. She just doesn't know how to stop herself doing it.

When Princess Kitty is looking at a possible home she imagines herself living in it. She thinks about Growly Bear being there. She thinks about her ability to make a nice home. She knows she is not very practical or observant about her environment. And yet she knows her environment is important to her.

Growly Bear thinks Princess Kitty needs to be more stoic. He feels upset when he sees her hurt. And Princess Kitty does show her hurt - like a child. She hasn't learned to hide her feelings without blocking them out to herself.

Princess Kitty knows Growly Bear is right about this too. She looks in the mirror and practices having a stiff upper lip.
