from today's experience, i have learnt about what i've termed "kindergarden dynamics" in friendship.

it's all really quite basic: as kids, we instinctively make friends by trying to play with em, lego, firetrucks, my little ponies, carebears, eating gummies, whatever.
if we get a multiplied negative from a couple of encounters with our intended 'friend', we learn to back off. and with no hard feelings, we're all young and juvenile and immature, yeahhh.

same in madison.
no matter what we do, we can't please everyone, so let's just learn to be kindy-kids.
