I believe it is important to pass on the knowledge I have gained in my life, to empower my children with the life skills that will be the most useful in their own lives. This is why I recently passed on the only thing I remember from my high school Physics teacher.
I heard Benjamin yelling at me from the bathroom, clear across the house. I went stomping up the stairs to find his yelling more intense as I approached. "Mom! I need more toilet paper! Mom!!!!!! I need more..." This is when I enlightened him on the functions of a toilet paper roll. To most, the tube performs only the function of convenience in putting it on the toilet paper holder. While this is convenient, it is not the most important feature. When taken off the holder, the tube doubles as a megaphone in which one can call, "Doot-do-dooo! I need more toilet paper." We shared a smile as I demonstrated, but I wasn't sure if I had gotten through to him. This may be one of those lessons I'd have to give over and over in life. However, I was teaching a piano lesson a few days later when I heard the cutest little voice say, "Doot-do-dooo! I need more toilet paper!" You'd better believe I ran and helped the kid out. I only wish he learned all lessons this quickly. Thanks to high school physics, Ben will never be stranded again!

Jennie,
I am so glad you stopped by our blog. I added you to my blog list, I have been secretly checking out your blog as well. Just wanted to thank you for the invite for the park. It was just what I needed and I think it was divine intervention that I ran into you that day on my walk. Thanks for always making me feel included in the group, and I enjoy your conversation and company as well.
So cute what a sweet story.
