Have you heard of the happy bucket? It lives in your chest and it fills up with nice and happy things that make you feel good about yourself. Unfortunately though this world is full of Bucket Dipper's. Mean bullies who do things to you on purpose to dip your bucket and make all those happy feelings tip out.
I'm sure we have all met a Bucket Dipper in our lives.
Though how empty is their buckets to make a life of dipping other peoples buckets?

I could use a Happy Bucket, that is for sure. My bucket has been full sometimes. Sometimes other people take my happies, other times I manage to tip the bucket myself.
So, if I give happies to someone else, maybe I will get some back. What do you think?

I believe that, when we set ourselves to fill up other peoples buckets and make them feel good about themselves, our buckets fill up as well. I know it always feels nice when I have done something for others to make them happy. I always feel a little happier each time.
I truly do believe if you give happiness happiness you will recieve, its a ripple effect :)

We could all use a happy bucket and yes, we have all managed to tip our own bucket from time to time. Yes, fill those buckets.
If we fill someone's bucket with happies the overflow will come back to us and fill our bucket some too. same as, you reap what you sow.

Yes, my little five year old grandson told me all about bucket dippers. I've known bucket dippers in my life. I have known some my whole life, even some I thought were my friends but they were the type that do all the taking and no giving. When I was a child I was bullied by some who even pretended to be my friend. It was certainly no fun, sometime that bucket can get so empty that you can't remember how to fill it up anymore.

I certainly agree. Who do they think they are! What gives them the right to go around dipping buckets and making them feel bad about themselves. Just because they have no happiness in their own buckets? They should learn how to fill their own bucket and other peoples buckets with happy things...thats what true friendship is about.
If a 5 year old can understand the concept of a bucket dipper someone in 30 or 45 should be able to understand.
More times thewn not though they continue to do mean things and dip our buckets a little more each time :(

Yes, my thoghts exactly, thats what being a friend is filling each others buckets. Those that do not understand the concept of filling someone's bucket as opposed to dipping into it, in my opinion, have a whole in their bucket which is always spilling the happy out and they try to plug it up by dipping into the buckets of others.

There were once a lot of wooden dolls. These dolls used to fix black marks or stars on each other whenever somethng happened. One of these dolls was special - people used to see she had no stars and say she's bad, and put a black dot on her. The dots fell.

Sticks and stones may break my bones. Words won't hurt me.

I met a bucket dipper once. Ran him over with a 16-wheeler. I'm sure he'll never dip anyone's bucket again. We don't need to worry about him, people.

Wow. I wonder if he learnt his lesson about dipping buckets, where he ended up?
