Hi Paul - I thought I'd sent you a post but guess I didn't "hit the button". I felt really supported by your post. Hey - you'd be a great parent, but guess what - I have a sneaky little feeling you'd want your kid out for that 5 minutes just a bit earlier than 35! :-)
Like your style.Have a good day. Kath
> theres another metaphor in the "tired/old" class that works here also in a modified form. you can lead a horse to water. then what you got? well, you gots a HORSE, and you gots WATER. thasall! once a child discovers thier own bit of free will, all the teaching, good, bad, or otherwise has one hell of a battle to fight if its going to take precedence over the MYRIAD experiences awaiting a naive child. its NEVER just the child or just the parents. is's one o dem sticky kweschunz i don't have to answer. i pray for/admire those who do. if i have a kid i'll feed him hotdogs and gravy and read e.e. cummings to him while he listens to derek bailey play the guitar. then, when he's 35, i'd let him out of the house for 5 minutes. maybe.
