This, young lady, was a fun read, I hope that little one grows well as while her mother is cautious now, she will change when she gets more kids on her hands...the first is always treated with specialness...-e- (don't let grandpop get near her or suffer the poor little child, hope she grows up looking like you rather than her pop-pop...)

Well said. Another thing that gets me, is when every kid gets a reward, no matter how good or poorly they did. Not everyone can be a winner all the time. One has to have something to strive for.

I'm with you. It drives me crazy when I see parents these days coddling their children and suffocating them with no freedom and materialistic consumerism. And I'm talking about the way my ex-wife treated her daughter! Damned little princess at 16! I pity her husbands� She'll have several.

But I missed the point� I believe every word of your damn good poem.

Loved your insightful word, Eileen, and they need to become the "bible" of the learning, growing and living experience. Television. Something that could have been an absolute genius-like technology. It could have, but it turned into a means to brainwash the nation into ind-numbed robots. And now we have our computers. Every sentence in this is special. Thank you.

Great pic. That face of yours reflects much. And I have no idea how I survived my childhood. An act of Grace - I suppose.
I agree - 'explore the world you live in, not just make-believe'. For me real-life is the fuel for imagination, not TV. Of course, on a droll note, sometimes my walk through the workday seems like fantasies because so much unexpected transpires. (-: A sensitive honest insight you've shared, Eileen. I enjoyed reading this. Continued inspiration.
