Jane, It is amazing how much children pick up from parents. For instance, I am big on being on time, and schedules, and my son is always reminding me, as if I need any reminding, "we can't be late." Yesterday, he spilled a coke on his socks and he does not like to get wet. He said, "I am sorry. I am a klutz." We had to make it to that game, regardless. I just got him a new pair, in time to make it there, on time. This is the kid that switch hits and plays with precision. I am reading instructions for his CD Rom right now that is a game for 8+. He is almost 5. I just want him to have fun, and not get uptight. I said, "you are not klutz." He has learned to call his Grandfather on the Cell phone, and he said, "remember once when you said you were not available?" The message said that. He took it literally! :)Leigh

Jane, Some things to teach the kids: Subject: "What My Mother Taught Me" My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE - "If you're going to kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning!" My mother taught me RELIGION - "You better pray that will come out of the carpet." My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL: "If you don't straighten up, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!" My mother taught me LOGIC: "Because I said so, that's why." My mother taught me FORESIGHT - "Make sure you wear clean underwear, with no holes, in case you're in an accident." My mother taught me IRONY - "Keep laughing and I'll give you something to cry about." My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS - "Shut your mouth and eat your supper!" My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM - "Will you look at the dirt on the back of your neck!" My mother taught me about STAMINA - "You'll sit there 'til all that spinach is finished." My mother taught me about WEATHER - "It looks as if a tornado swept through your room." My mother taught me how to solve PHYSICS PROBLEMS - "If I yelled because I saw a meteor coming toward you; would you listen then?" My mother taught me about HYPOCRISY - "If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - Don't Exaggerate!!!" My mother taught me THE CIRCLE OF LIFE - "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out." My mother taught me about BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION - "Stop acting like your father!" My mother taught me about ENVY - "There are millions of less fortunate children in this world who don't have wonderful parents like you do!" My mother taught me to CLEAN MY PLATE: "You'd better eat all of that food, there are children in this world that are starving." THANKS, MOM! Have fun, Phil
