Little Thelma

[KBs PensNmore]

Little Thelma comes home from first grade and tells her father that they learned about the history of Valentine's Day. And, "Since Valentine's Day is for a Christian saint and we're Jewish," she asks, "Will God get mad at me for giving someone a valentine?





Thelma's father thinks a bit then says "No, I don't think God would get mad. Who do you want to give a valentine to?”





"The Isis group," she says.





"Why them," her father asks in shock?





"Well," she says, "I thought that if a little American Jewish girl could have enough love to give them a valentine, they might start to think that maybe we're not all bad, and maybe start loving people a little bit. And if other kids saw what I did and then they sent valentines to them, they'd love everyone a lot. And then they'd start going all over the place telling everyone how much they loved them and how they didn't hate anyone anymore."





Her father's heart swells and he looks at his daughter with newfound pride. "Thelma, that's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard."





"I know," Thelma says, "and once that gets them out in the open, the Marines could blow the crap out of them."

good thinking

When my youngest son was six (he is now 27), he had a similar advanced understanding of tactics.

It was a hot Summer afternoon, he and his big brother were playing water-pistol fights in our back yard against two kids of similar age from next door. My boys were hiding behind a corner of the house waiting for the other two to come looking for them, but they were not coming around.

My little tactician sent his brother around the house the long way and to spray the other kids with his super-soaker to make them run around the corner.

He squirted them, they ran around the corner - straight into the blast from the jet-spray on the hose. Game over. :2tsup:

Thats my boy!
