Kiki Strike's: How to Take Advatage of Being a Girl
Seeing as I'm currently reading the book Kiki Stike Inside Shadow City I figure I may as well post her helpful hints here,which is marked at the end of every chapter.
"How to Take Adavantage of Being a Girl
The Element of Suprise,
No one takes you seriously?Let people believe what they want to believe,and the element of suprise will always work in your favor.If they think your weak,you can suprise them with strength,and if they assume your stupid,you'll out-think them every time.Remember,low expectations can be a blessing in disguise.
Invisiblity
I've always found it amusing that many people will say many people will say just about anything in front of a girl-as if she couldn't possibly understand.Before the age of 15,you will see things that no one else will see,and hear things that no one else will hear.Keep your ears open at all times,and use the information you gather to your advantage.
The Benefit of the Doubt
Most people are willing to give some young girls the benefit of the doubt.Girls are too sweet and innocent,they think,to be up to no good.A clever story-generally one involving a search for a missing kitten-can get you out of trouble in 9 out of 10 situations.Remember,a tear or two will make any tale more believable.
The Art of Disguise
A girl's biggest advantage is her ability to change her appearance at will.If you're handy with a brush and have more than one change of clothing in your closet,you can easily assume the appearance of at least 5 different people.Eventually,the prudent use of hair color and makeup can make your disguise more repertoire limitless.
Size
So what if your not tall enough to see above the steering wheel?Being small in stature does come with in benefits.You can hide almost anywhere.Disappear into any crowd.Fit into spaces that no adult could crame herself into and go places adults could never go.Make use of your size before it's too late"
This is all from the novel Kiki Strike Inside the Shadow City by Kirsten Miller.These are not my own words.
