I was just thinking of that today What’s a common remark kids say to their mother? “Mommy he/she hurt my feelings.” Mommy then springs into action saying to the sibling or neighbor kid, “We don’t act like that around here.” Right?

So here’s my concern. Why don’t parents/grandparents and classroom teachers follow through with REAL HELP when kids are faced with nasty remarks. Because, when not addressed as a teaching moment, children and adults begin thinking of ways to get even! Egg your house, key your car, spray paint property or as my friends once found when they got home that their offender had ordered a huge bolder delivered and placed in their private drive way leading to their home.

Was that the end of it? NO, it was all over the news. It was tragic.

So, let’s become conscious of ways we can help others.

So happy to hear about Calvin’s book and love the cover artwork. Followed your link to Amazon and my copy is due Wednesday. . .

I don’t really have a creepy building/room experience but I will have to say your “Old Sparky” encounter would be a contest winner – for sure!

Not a fan of rubbery dried tomatoes but love the sound of Michael’s moist version and all the suggestions for serving them. Plus I have some Herbes de Provence that I need to use. . . 😉

Well, ready to greet the weekend with a smile. Happy into to June!
