"A wonderful thing is a Tigger;
A Tigger's a wonderful thing.
Their tops are made out of rubber,
their bottoms are made out of spring
They're bouncy, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy,
fun, fun, fun, fun, fun,
The most wonderful thing
about Tiggers is:
I'm the only one!"
I definitely experience you, Daniel, in many ways as a "Tigger". A
"Trigger".
Is it a role you're being drafted into? Is it a role you're playing with?
