Wanna Know What I Think?

I think a momma bird doesn’t get all bent up when it’s time for the babies to leave. I think a momma bird doesn’t get worried when a baby bird is big enough to go; and then goes! I think a momma bird has the courage to make the babies leave when they are big enough. I think a momma bird makes the babies go because if they stay she’ll go insane. I think the birds that dive-bomb cars are the momma birds that don’t make their babies leave the nest no matter how “unprepared” they may be.

I think I wanna be a bird.

Maybe I already am because I’m having unhealthy thoughts of playing in traffic.

I hate being lied to; especially if the liar is a child. My child. Hello? I will find out because I’M THE MOM.

Okay, baby'o'mine, maybe if you lie about brushing your teeth (or rather, NOT brushing your teeth) then I probably won’t find out. That is, until the dentist informs me that you obviously are not brushing your teeth because the gingivitis is starting already. Oh yes, we moms have spies everywhere.

But then you grow up and I don’t have those spies anymore so you think you can lie? I don’t think so, Scooter. I will still find out because I’M THE MOM. Age ain't got squat to do with nothing.

How about let’s make a deal? If you are a legal adult and you want to do something and you feel that you cannot tell your parents what that something is and, rather, you feel that telling them a lie will make it “easier” for them, then just don’t tell them anything. Trust me, a parent would much rather find out about something that you’ve done (or are doing) and not have known about it than to find out about something that you’ve done (or are doing) and have thought you did (or are doing) something else.

Think about that.

A Lighter Note

First, thank you friends, for all of your support about my last post.

Now about that lighter stuff... Got this off of suekay's LJ.

You Are 70% Left Brained, 30% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?
