What is it exactly about the phrase - good girl ? Even hearing Nicole talk about it has me shivering. And it seems like it's always the most intellectual, the most professional and in control of us who love to hear it the most. Don't we work so hard, after all? Don't we need a little bit of attention, a little bit of praise? Some relief - someone else to take the reins, let us rest, let us feel that sweet approval. We'd do anything for it?
