Guilty on all Counts
So, those of you who know me personally realize that I do not delight or make a habit of delighting in the foibles or downfall of others…right….?

The Squirrel Story
Recently while on afternoon day care van duty at school, a 1st grade boy began to brag about his family catching and eating squirrels. He seemed to know what he was talking about and was going on and on.
Another boy in Kindergarten looked up at me after this long description and said in a questioning [...]
