Intrappy


Phoebe was described by some friends of ours as "intrepid" and "scrappy." Apt? Well, let's see...

Intrepid (as defined my Merriam-Webster): Characterized by resolute fearlessness, fortitude, and endurance

Scrappy (as define by Urban Dictionary):
  • A person who is little but can really kick some ass.
  • Seemingly small and unthreatening but shockingly able to kick your ass and anyone else's
  • Someone or something that appears dwarfed by a challenge, but more than compensates for seeming inadequacies through will, persistence and heart.
The verdict? She is both intrepid and scrappy. Those definitions are so apt, I am just going to start calling her "Intrappy."

hard to believe but i was once a "little phoebe" .when i couldnt reach the piano roller to put in a new musical roll i got my placid sister"lucy" to do it for me then pushed her off the piano stool so i could pump the roller apparatus alone. angelina nanarina
