< Here is a pretty neat little thing from Paul Harvey. See if you can guess
< the riddle at the end.
<
< Paul Harvey Writes:
< We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them
worse.
< For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
< I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade
ice
< cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.
< I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty
by
< being cheated.
< I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.
< And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.
< It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old
< dog put to sleep.
< I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
< I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And
< it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but
< when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I
hope
< you let him.
< When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag
< along, I hope you'll let him/her.
< I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you
live
< in a town where you can do it safely.
< On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your
< driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with
someone
< as uncool as your Mom.
< If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one
instead
< of buying one.
< I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
< When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract
< in your head.
< I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a
< boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory
< soap tastes like.
< May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and
< stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
< I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if
a
< friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your
friend.
<
< I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and
go
< fishing with your Uncle.
< May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.
< I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your
< neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at
Hanukah/Christmas
< time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand. These things I wish
for
< you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me,
it's
< the only way to appreciate life.
< Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die
< before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.
< Send this to all of your friends. We secure our friends, not by accepting
< favors, but by doing them.
<
< Paul Harvey RIDDLE:
< When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared
to
< 17% of Stanford University seniors.
< What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The
< rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?
< Send this to 10 people and then press shift and you will get the answer.
< P.S. You won't believe this, but this really does give you the answer!!!!
