As Mom zipped up the back, Janice looked at her reflection in the mirror. Everything was perfect except for how her hair looked. It still looked like a boy's. Mom sensed Janice's concern and led her into the master bedroom. She had Janice sit at her vanity, facing away from the mirror. Mom then applied a little foundation and powder to Janice's face and some pink lipstick to Janice's lips, saying that a girl of twelve doesn't need to use much makeup.

Larry and Sam grew up as childhood friends, sharing countless hours of play. However, their paths diverged as they grew older—Larry became a successful businessman, while Sam faced challenges that changed his life. Over time, they lost touch and rarely spoke. One day, they unexpectedly crossed paths at a local park. Sitting on a bench, they realized how long it had been since they last connected. Feeling the distance between them, Larry finally asked, “Why don’t we talk anymore?” Sam shrugged, and Larry recalled, “You borrowed my toys and never gave them back.” That night, Larry reflected on their friendship and decided to make amends. He dug out the old toys from his childhood and took them to Sam's house, saying, “We shouldn’t let something so silly come between us.” With a smile, they rekindled their friendship, realizing that true connections are worth preserving.
