Lemonade stand

In this paper, I am writing about two norm violations I witnessed along with one norm violation I committed myself.

been thinking about Jimmy, and I know she misses him. “Sadie, trust me, you will do great.” I tell her. “There is absolutely nothing to be nervous about.” She runs her fingers through her hair and taps her foot nervously. I walk around the table to stand behind her and fix her now frizzy hair. “You can’t ruin your hair yet.
