There is a sculpture on Main Street in town that is named sticks and stones.
A stick, some stones and a metal frame. Who knew?
I was reminded of the childhood saying "Sticks and stones will beak my bones but words will never hurt me." Do you recall that one? A children's rhyme from 1862.
I do know that some words can hurt. I was reminded one day by a very little girl who I had just scolded for doing something or another...as a tear rolled down her cheek she said "You hurt my feeling" Yes not feelings ...just feeling...apparently one feeling. When you are little you can have just one feeling.
