I don't understand how you can ask a person, "how do you feel about {insert some current event here}?" and they respond with, "I really don't know" or "I don't pay attention to the news" or "That doesn't really affect me."
But I guarantee if you ask that person:
"How many days did Paris stay in jail?"
THEY WILL KNOW!!!!!?!!!!!!?!!!!!
argggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The musings of a 5 year old

When you're 5, things must seem beyond your control all the time. you're told when to get up, when to get in the car, what to eat, who you'll spend time with, etc
So when they get angry at things they can't control, and realize that their control is taken away (or never given)..... they lash out.
How did my bebe lash out?
I told her the other night to go to her room for lying (yes, she lied about if she brushed her teeth. *sigh*). She decided to fight me on it a bit.....
Put her hand on her hip....
Glared at me.....
and said in her most serious voice......
"If you send me to my room, I won't invite you to my next birthday party!!!!!!!"
Yes folks, to a 5 year old, that is probably the worst punishment she could think of.
I was proud of myself... I didn't bust out laughing, which was the hardest thing to do....
I looked at her and simply said, "If that is what you wish, but you will need to arrange your next party yourself with your own money and house."
She took one look at me and I think she knew I wasn't playing, turned around, and went to her room as asked.
Then I went to my room, shut the door, and laughed my butt off.
Until next time....

Quotes as I come across them......
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, an hour, a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it last forever.” ~~~Lance Armstrong
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~~~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
"I like running because it's a challenge. If you run hard, there's the pain----and you've got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is 'Don't overdo it' and 'Don't push yourself.' Well, I think that's a lot of bull. If you push the human body, it will respond." ~~~Bob Clarke, Philadelphia Flyers general manager, NHL Hall of Famer. (Will-Weber's "Voices From the Midpack" chapter.)
The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.~~~Denis Watley
Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly. ~~~Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)
