Here are a few tidbits from my life recently...
On Sunday I had a conversation with two boys in our primary class (ages 9) that went something like this:
Boy #1: Did you know that boys actually cry more than girls?
Me: Why is that?
Boy #1: Because girls can hit boys, but boys can't hit girls so boys end up getting hurt more.
Me (chuckling to myself): Well it's true that you shouldn't hit girls, but girls shouldn't hit boys either unless it is in self defense.
Boy #2: What am I supposed to do if I see a girl rob a bank?
Me: Ummm, perhaps trip her and call the police.
The boys seemed pleased with this answer. I filling these kids' heads with such uplifting advice.
Happy Chinese New Year (yesterday)! I like the Chinese New Year for a couple of reasons. First off, it is a holiday and I love holidays. Second, if you have been slacking on your New Year resolutions, it is a second New Year to get back on board. Now isn't that convenient. Third, I read the following on Wikipedia: "The Chinese New Year tradition is to reconcile, forget all grudges and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone" Isn't that nice, a holiday all about forgiveness. I liked that. This year is the year of the Dragon, which is considered the luckiest year in the Chinese zodiac. You can learn more about the Year of the Dragon here, but in summary it is associated with wealth and power and brings growth and change. Sounds good to me. I really wanted to celebrate the Chinese New Year yesterday, but we didn't have a lot of free time to do so. However, I made sure to listen to Imagine Dragons on repeat, because it seemed fitting.
Speaking of holidays, Danny sent me a message earlier today wishing me a Happy National Peanut Butter Day and told me he had a surprise for me at home to celebrate. (Which I assume will some how incorporate peanut butter, we shall see.) Yay, husband! I think I have finally converted him to celebrating random holidays.
I helped a little bit with this Mormon Message about temples. I had the chance to talk with the family who President Monson shares about. They were some of the most inspiring people. I thought the message turned out beautifully.
I think that is about it for now. In case anyone is wondering, today is a Something Corporate day on iTunes. I was feeling a little nostalgic.
PS "Cowboys and Aliens" was a little weird, but entertaining. I liked the thinking outside of the box aspect to the movie. I mean, why not have aliens come during the Old West times.

Don't you just love teaching Primary?
ReplyDeleteSo I'm wondering if that peanut butter surprise included Nutty Buddies or Haystacks, two of Danny's favorites. And I'm glad we've entered the year of the dragon. We can all use a holiday about forgiveness.
