Playground Facades: Pt.1

I had only been there five minutes when I spotted them.
The playground personalities.
The cheerleader. The bully. The show-off. The helper. To name a few.
They were all there.
I watched them wear their facades completely unaware of my see-through-it superpower. Why facades? Because every parent wants to appear as kind, patient, and in control. But on the playground, the personality jungle, truth always emerges.

Oh wait... Let me be clear. I'm not referring to the kids.
This is all about the parents. The adults. 
Kids just are. They wear no facades. But "grown folks" try to put on a show.


And there I was, that day, reading 'em like a best seller.
