Does that mean this is the wrong arm?
My son was sitting in the back of the car in his carseat staring at his arms. I was getting ready to let him out of the car when he asked me, “Mommy, what arm is this?” I said, “That is your right arm.” He then looks at his other arm (his left arm) and says, “Does that mean this is the wrong arm?”

Well Done
I was a day care provider for over twenty years. In the twenty years – I would like to believe that I touched children’s lives and gave them positive childhood memories. Some of the children I took to church with me and sponsored them for church camp. After, they left my care – I usually never heard from them again. I often wondered how they turned out.

Choices
Many years ago a friend wanted to go to a party in a nearby town. Her parents trusted her and told her not to go to a certain town and road. My friend agreed. I chose to stay home. I made a wise choice because late that night her parents received a call that a wreck had occurred. Of course the wreck was at a location that her parents had specifically told her to stay away from. She had met a boy and he was in the car at the time of the wreck. There were no serious injuries. The boy’s parents were very understanding and believed he had learned a lesson from this experience.
