Star Wars

Today, after I get home, I decide to work a bit, then maybe try and write some more in my book I will one day complete...just a dream, but everyone must have a creative outlet. My very blonde daughter is in debate in high school. It was not her first choice, or second, but she got the crappy third choice....and she did not know really what it was about, but all there was left was wood shop...so she had to pick debate.

Tonight as I am sitting with her...doing her homework...we had to write out the fact, value, and policy of a particular thing, such as age discrimination, arms trade, excellence in education, ect....

She thought arms trade....well was somehow trading arms, or some sort of orgon donar program...SERIOUSLY then star wars...was of course yoda and jabba the hut....

I belive the children are our future....oh my god.

I decided at this time, she has had a sheltered life, and her boy bands on MTV in the mornings must go, and we have to switch to CNN for awhile, to understand that life is not just about Justin Timberlake, and "Oh my god I heard he was getting married, and she is such a slut" to people are starving in Africa, and China and Iran...and most of the middle east want to see us die...

Well...maybe her world isn't so bad anyways.

Your daughter's misconceptions could be a book all of their own. But at least she didn't come up with these:

Civil rights--the freedom to act nice to people.

Same-sex marriage--monogomay with your spouse.

Medicinal cannibus--doctors who eat you.

Multiculturalism--going to a lot of different churches at the same time.

Impeachment--adding peach snapps for flavoring.

Majority rule--where Army Majors have the final say in everything.

Stem cell research--examining parts of trees while they're in prison.

Emissions standards--um, maybe this wouldn't be a good one to joke about.

It's a shame we all can't enjoy that level of blissful ignorance forever. The cruel and nasty world will eventually sneak in and grab your attention, and once it starts it just doesn't stop.

What is CNN. And why would anyone want to know what's going on in the world..

Happy, how I envy you.

It's been several weeks since I've seen a new post. Hoping everything is all right, and that your back isn't giving you any more trouble, but I'm fearing the worst.

Best of everything to you, hon. Looking forward to the next male-bashing post.

Heidi, I'd e-mail you to ask how you're doing. But you didn't post your e-mail address.

I hope things are better than this summer. Happy Thanksgiving.
