A TEEN TEACHES WONDERLAND
Here is some background for today’s post. We at TWW have been blessed to have the friendships of a couple of teens who are regular readers. We met them due to a deep and close friendship with their parents. They also are part of the Wonderland story. If you go to our archives, you can read our “fact or fiction” posts on a dreadful set of circumstances in a “kingdom” far, far away. This kingdom has done a great job of “blaming” the victims and storytellers and, in so doing, caused some to flee the kingdom and obtain citizenship elsewhere. Lise is a young woman who saw some events unfold. She is brave, vulnerable, highly intelligent, and a darn good writer. She is also currently studying in Europe and comments from there. Lise, you are incredible!

Lise’s response is poignant. “Anonymous” then chimed in on Christmas night telling Dee to “Chill out” (which was promptly deleted – remember… it’s our blog!)

Once again, we thank this individual for providing superb insight into the mindset of Wonderland.
