Call me a buzzkill, but there are few things I like about Halloween. My list is short: • little bite-sized candy bars (ok, full size too…) • little stinkers in adorable costumes • little orange and white pumpkins I think there’s a pattern to my list. Unlike Halloween, where the bigger the scare, the better. Having grown […]

by 6 Comments
When I read this bit of ‘kid wisdom’ the first time, I laughed out loud! Followed closely by thinking, ‘Boy, ain’t that the truth.’ No one wants to follow a cranky leader.
