My life is written like a sitcom. Today is critically important that I be working on a client’s project so I am trying to get the children out of the house as quickly as possible and they are moving slower than ever! Amy likes the Dannables yogurts in her lunch. Yesterday we had about 6 of these in the fridge. This morning none! All the jellos and snacks I normally put in her lunch are raided and of course I’d already cooked her hot dog so telling her to buy lunch today really wasn’t an option. I suppose the dogs would have enjoyed the hot dog. I decide to send money so she can buy milk and I decide on raisins. Raisins, we all know, stick together in the box. So before opening the box I shake it vigorously. Apparently the previous raisin eater did not secure the cap so raisins went flying all over the kitchen. I suppose Murphy is trying to tell me to lighten up and not be so stressed over today.

I hold you my son
And I cry
For I cannot give you all the world.

I watch you my daughter
And I cry
For I cannot give you all my time.

I teach you my son
And I cry
For I cannot give you all knowledge.

I guide you my daughter
And I cry
For I cannot prevent all your mistakes.

I set you free my son
And I cry
For I cannot protect you all the time.

I love you my wife
And I cry
For I cannot give you a better life.

And I cry
Tears of joy
For all of you give me such happiness!

Student: Should I bark at the children or use Socratic methods?
Master: Do you want immediate or long lasting results?
