January 28, 2002a child is not a salmon mousse---------------------
Today's photo shows our twins getting some ice fishing pointers from their Grandfather. The twins got a lot of nibbles, but never quite succeeded in actually pulling a fish out of the lake. Grandpa showed them how by catching four Perch. Temperatures have dropped below freezing again and we are expecting daytime highs in the 20's. I just finished reading the third Harry Potter book, The Prisoner of Azkaban, to the twins. We have already read the first chapter of The Goblet of Fire. -------------------- A child is not a salmon mousse. A child is a temporarily disabled and stunted version of a larger person, whom you will someday know. Your job is to help them overcome the disabilities associated with their size and inexperience so that they get on with being that larger person. Barbara Ehrenreich, U.S. author and columnist.
