IJMC - The Things Children Say...Take #42

What do you do, when you have a great bunch of kids who probably just 
need a little direction to help find themselves...and their support 
structure thinks they need to decide for themselves what to do? They need 
a little push, and all they're getting is a pull. They're being told to 
do for themselves, yet remain children, and they're not trusted with
responsibility either. Largest form of discrimination I see left in this 
country, age discrimination. And this group's being hit with it, hard. 
Too young to be trusted, but old enough they're told to do for 
themselves, and you wonder why they're lethargic and confused and 
rebellious? Sorry for the rambling, I'm just still really distraught over 
what I sat through tonight. I hope you enjoy the post, it's cute.   -dave





What Do These Animals Say?

A mother was reading a book about animals to her 3 year old daughter:

Mother:  "What does the cow say?"

Child:   "Moooooooooo!"

Mother:  "Great!  What does the cat say?"

Child:    "Meow."

Mother:  "Oh, you're so smart!  What does the frog say?"

The wide-eyed little three-year-old looked up at her mother and 
replied, "Bud."
