Lucky me. The author of a new blog, www.youngamericanwisdom.com, commented on my post and so I checked her out. She quotes her kids, then riffs about the quote. This is a brilliant idea for a blog, and she does it so well. Check her out. (Note: I have received no compensation for this endorsement. Damn. )
