• It takes a whole child to raise a village

  Not just the left elbow, for example, because you know how hard it is to get that village to listen.  Hardly anyone listens to a left elbow unless it is in pain; even if you paint a face on it first the tendency is to ignore it.  I won't even go into listening to the gall bladder.

  So you have to use the whole child.  Even then, as I've said before, it is difficult to get a village to listen.  They are always too busy playing, "How to get weapons of mass destruction away from the axis of evil" to come when dinner is called.

  I know, I've tried and I've had to repeat myself at least three times before I even get, "I'll be there in a minit!!"

  Villages these days, there's just no respect!

  

   

  Now let's all go and sing "Kumbaya" or even, "It's a Small World After All."
