Indonesian children make perilous journey to school over collapsed bridge Ok, I only have two things to say about this terrible situation: 1. Why does this writter [ see copy of small article below ] act so cavalier about this story and the terrible situation these kids have to endure. I look at the pictures and I am shocked and surprised that no one has done anything. That there isn't a public outcry about fixing this old bridge and securing the safty of these children. 2. I feel for these kids, I do. But I cannot help wonder about my children and the generation that is growing up today in America. I know for sure that if that bridge was out in my town - every boy and girl in my town would be sitting at home watching TV or playing video games becuase they can't cross that bridge [ easy ready made excuse to cut ] . In fact I am pretty sure the teachers of my town would call out anyway becuase hey - I'm not crossing that dangerouse bridge. Yes, I know - you're thinking:

The Pack mentality of Five sleep over Girls Ok, summer is almost here. It’s bad enough I’m torn up inside because my little girls is going away for the summer. She’s spending it in NY with the Aunt and Grandparents. It’s sort of the last chance she has to experience the Big city [ you know where Mom and Dad grew up]. It may be the last summer she’ll be able to go since Granddad is retiring and moving to Florida. So what does my wife agree to - one last opportunity for my daughter and four of her friends to have a big blow out slumber party- great…. First - I don’t want to share my daughters last weekend with others [ especially four screaming girls ]. Second - How am I going to escape the giggling, screaming, wacky antics of five pre-teen girls running around my house. I have trouble dealing just with the two women who live in my house - but now I’ll have five tweens and one adult women [ who will probably re-live her childhood fantasies through these girls ] The Pack mentality of Fi

Five Girls, sleep over - Sad DAD What do you do when you know Five girls are going to spend the night over at your house. Do you clean up? Do you Prepare for the mess? Run and Hide - NO! You make sure they spend as much time outside the house as possible. That’s right - outside girls. Play in the pool, play on the wet and slid. In fact - let me put up the tent and you guys go sleep out side - thank you…. We were just trying to help the girls have one last Hurrah because they weren’t going to be able to see each other this summer. My daughters is spending the summer in NY with her Aunt and Grandparents. My daughters friend Katline [ if spelled it right ] is going to Georgia for the summer - so the group is all torn up. So my wife allowed a big all out last ditch slumber party. Great - pre-teen screaming girls taking over my house.

What do 5 five girls do alone in the dark? Oh God help us all... What do five girls do when left alone to their own devices…. Well, of course the do the usual stuff: * they eat all the food they can find. * They eat all the candy they can scrounge up. * they giggle, scream and make the weirdest noise I’ve ever heard. * they find it funny to slap, kick and hit each other……. Weird * Run in fear from one small Bee - oh brother… There is so much more but like all women - the most they do is talk a lot! I’ve learn so much about my daughter and her friends in one short conversation than I’ve learned in the last three weeks. It’s surprising how girls act a lot like boys. They seem to lose all petite self-conscious control and act like slobs, eat like rabid animals and do not find it odd to be talking about things I [ a man ] do not want to hear about.

5 girls one Boy - what a perfect Storm ! My son had a blast this week end. He was the only boy in the mist of FIVE pretty girls - all screaming and laughing and running around in their pajamas!!!!! Ofcourse my son is only five so he just enjoyed the attention from all the girls and has no clue to what a peculiar situation he is in. Yet that didn’t stop him from acting like a little five year old - because my son is “Sponge Bob” a nick name the girls dubbed him - because he soaks up all the information [ gossip ] being told by the giddy girls hopped up on candy and he shares it with everyone. Like the fact that a boy ask my daughter out ?? Or that Jonesha likes a boy called Jeffery ! Or the conversation I had to run from in the kitchen, when they all started talking about who had the biggest butt ???? Excuse me - Man here - I don’t need to hear this..
