Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.

---

The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear G-d, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."

---

He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.

---

As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.

---

The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"

---

Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other chil dren are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.

---

She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you klutz!"

---

Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."

---

May G-d help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.

Aahhh...That made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Aww..... What a sweet story, Sevy... I just love stories like this one; they're so great at teaching us life lessons...

I hope you're doing okay and that you haven't been hit by that nasty bug that's been circulating everywhere, lately... I got Manic Monday up, if you want to check it out, but I gotta say, I'm still not feeling 100 per cent; I sure hope you're feeling okay, my friend...

That's a really cute story!

Hiya Sevy! This is a reincarnation of a basically dead blog. I hope to use it to help the community, as well as to promote my very favorite site in the whole world (Bravenet, of course ). I finally got the end of the aliens story up at the Tree, if you feel like dropping by; I hope you like it!

Have a great day and a great weekend, my friend, and stay warm, eh? I hear the weather is about to get crappy on us again... *sigh*

Enjoyed the story very much.

Sevy, I also own the Tree, the Camper, and a few other blogs here... I'm absolutely NOT going to tell you my age or weight, though.

That's a wonderful story. :) Sorry I haven't been by here in a while. I've been meaning to ask you, is it okay if I add you to my friends list? Hope you have a great week.

We're back from our visit to the Icefields, Sevy, and I've posted about it. I feel like I could have written a small book about everything we saw and experienced on the way to the Icefield, but I didn't. It was hard not to, though.

Also, Manic Monday at the Tree is up, if you're at all interested in dropping by there.

Hi Sevy, Im still around just not able to write as I used to.. I havent seen Cap't around since June....*cries* But Im hoping to find more time soon

Hey Sevy, just stopping by to see what's new. Boy, you guys have really had some crappy weather, lately, eh? I sure hope spring hurries up and gets here; I mean, I'm glad most of the snow has melted in my part of the country, but I feel for everyone who's been getting hit by more of the stuff in other parts. Please be careful if you're out trying to shovel that stuff, okay?

Have a good day, Sevy. We'll talk soon, I'm sure.

Hi Sevy. Just popping in to wish you a good weekend. I sure hope your weather smartens up - man, you guys have been getting hit hard, eh?

I'm glad you haven't had any more of the white stuff dumped on you, Sevy. I can just imagine how sore your body is from all that shoveling, last week. The past week here hasn't been too bad; this morning, I woke up to cold, gray weather, and it was snowing. Now, it's still snowing, and it's still cold. The Ides of March are truly gripping us, eh?

I hope the rest of your weekend is better. Maybe it will be nice enough to be outside just for the sake of being outside, eh?

Morning, Sevy!

It's a special Manic Monday, today, if you feel like coming by.
