I'm not sure how they thought this was going to work out, but "a mother who mailed drugs to her incarcerated daughter is now an inmate in the same Florida jail."  I don't know, is it at the least a 'two-wrongs-don't-make-a-right," sorta story?   news

Parenting 101:  Don't leave your baby in the car while you go to a strip club.  Don't leave your baby in the car anywhere.  Don't have a baby and spend your afternoons in a strip club.   
"A man was in custody Thursday after allegedly leaving his 9-month-old daughter in a car in Panorama City while he went into a nearby strip club, authorities said. . . . 'He parked and walked about two blocks to the club,' said police."  Passerby's found the baby and called 911.       news        

Principle in the type:  "As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.”        Thomas S. Monson

Mum will be working herself to a tizzy for your Thanksgiving dinner, I hope you know!  If she needs to get to the store for some last minute huevos, this may help.




                                     

Principle in the type:  "When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses?"        Neal A. Maxwell
