Reminds me of how Smiler's favorite bed-time stories when she was three were the ones where I retold the day's events in the third person. she would choose the names of the mommy and the little girls and then I'd tell the story. I asked her once "doesn't that sound like something you did today?" She thought about it and said "no, my name isn't Sophie."R.L.

Especially about the California part.<BR/><BR/>But seriously, if our innate need is to communicate, the there's also a need to be understood and (somewhat) approved of. Otherwise why bother letting anybody read it?Smilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888076998373335876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916332485223671615.post-23629892080826477942007-12-04T14:04:00.000-08:002007-12-04T14:04:00.000-08:00Pandering for acceptance.

I remember a Seinfeld episode where George decided he had to leave whenever he got the laugh he was looking for, so he wouldn't then say something unfunny. As a result, people mistakenly thought he would always be funny and sought him out when he most definitely was not. What was my point? Oh, yeah, I wish I lived in California.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866348942612559536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916332485223671615.post-58531498461258630112007-12-04T11:04:00.000-08:002007-12-04T11:04:00.000-08:00getting the truth down before the lies have a chan...getting the truth down before the lies have a chance to form - i like that very much.lettucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872380339261609060noreply@blogger.com
