My mama lioness told me, her middle son cub, that I was affectionate.
She held me and told me softly that affection was a good thing and one day I may understand or not but I should always remember I was her affectionate cub.
My fellow classmates told me, laughed at me, told me affection was a stupid thing, a make fun of thing.
Mama lioness looked at me deeply and said affection was a good thing and don’t let others embarrass me for being naturally affectionate.
