I had a mother who read to me
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea.
Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth;
"Blackbirds" stowed in the hold beneath.
I had a Mother who read me lays
Of ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,
Which every boy has a right to know.
I had a Mother who read me tales
Of Gelert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,
Faithfulness lent with his final breath.
I had a Mother who read me the things
That wholesome life to the boy heart brings-
Stories that stir with an upward touch.
Oh, that each mother of boys were such!
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be --
I had a Mother who read to me.

Don't worry about what other people think. They don't do it very often.
That Today show clip nearly put me in a homicidal rage. If my children EVER behaved anything like that, every single thing they owned that was not school-related would be delivered to the Salvation Army within the hour, and that's being way generous because if I had acted like that at that age they would have never found my body..

Healthy is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Well, since we're in Canada and the drinking age is 19, I guess it'll be the perfect way to teach her about prime numbersOT but, when my daughter was 6 or 7 and I was trying to teach her time tables. i said 3 x 7 = drinking age is 21. yeah, I'm that kind of parent lol![]()
