Storytelling

Why can’t we teach boys respect. THERE ARE MONSTERS OUT THERE!!!! Go ahead and give that teaching thing a try. Oh and by the way, Kavenaugh is innocent. Can’t argue with the fact that Ford couldn’t recall dates times places or anything that could substantiate her claims. Yeah be smart. Your mom is right about the keys thing. It sounds like you had a great system around you to help you see the dangers all around. Thank the Lord for that. I have a daughter and she is growing up in the same dark world. Hope I can give her the tools to fight the darkness. Like a handgun. And I think in one sense we are creating the monsters. Boys are failing school. Role models are scarce. They don’t go to college. Fewer are getting married. Responsibility and integrity are not Vogue right now. I also have three boys. They need literature, respect, dignity, creative outlets. My kids will probably be fine. But this world will always have monsters.

The last sentence was THE greatest! I can’t believe how often I go along with these stories of women who have to take self defense classes. It’s always so tedious and strenuous! It wasn’t until the last sentence that I realized why!!! Thank you Young One! May your next story be about how to spread that last thought!
