Evil Minnie & Pushing Past Fear....

For some reason the lovely Ms. Lilliana was afraid of Minnie Mouse. Maybe it was the bright color. Maybe it was her pose, arms raised with strange gloved hands. Or most probably the way her skirt would spin and light up when the button on her little mouse leg was pressed. Whatever the reason Ms. Lilliana was not having anything to do with 'Evil Minnie'.
Hours went by with no change in her opinion. Then a strange thing happened. Ms. Lilliana's curiosity got the better of her. She looked at the costumed mouse from a different perspective and suddenly 'Evil Minnie' became just plain Minnie. A little while later Ms. Lilliana began to have fun with Minnie! Imagine that!
