Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Growing old: 1 of 125

I've always heard that "You're only as old as you feel!" Of course, the idiot who said that was only 30 at the time - or lying to those of use who are over 30 - so we can immediately discount anything he said. I've actually never really thought of myself as being particularly old (I'm 65.), but my "friends" keep bringing the...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Cell phones: 2 of 54

Do you ever wonder what other living things on earth think of us?!? Do you suppose our pets look at us and our sometimes outrageous behavior and wonder why on earth they ever allowed us to choose them as roommates?

My son, Jason (all 6 years of him), and I were finishing up a nightly ritual - his bath - and I was helping him dry off. As we were doing so, he gave me an unexpected hug and said in a soft, sweet voice: "I love you, Dad!" I hugged him back and couldn't resist the temptation when I responded: "Oh yeah, how come?" He gave me ...
Education > Secondary School (Other) Why parents need to be involved in their child's school life: 7 of 7

I've been a teacher for 42 years, and I sense sometimes that there is an ever-widening gulf growing between parents and teachers. Parents don't always seem to trust us, and we teachers are sometimes too quick to blame parents for the kids who fail. I had a professor in college who once said: "If you have a kid who fails your...
