Introduction Here is my vision; see if you can picture it. A small child comes home from school and asks Mommy, "Kids at school said that people used to fight and hurt each other, that there used to be stuff called 'wars' and 'bombs.' Is that true?" And is it true that mommies and daddies used to fight and yell at each other. And some of them hit their children... Is that true? The mother looked at her child lovingly and replied, "Yes, that is true, my child. But that was a very long time ago."

The first time you had your shoes taken off - how surprised were you to see that you still had toes?

Very surprised and delighted! I immediately reached up to grab them and pull them to my mouth!
