Argument Settled
The other day, Avril and I got into some petty argument. (I say it was petty. She would have said it was Armageddon.) As is our nature, neither of us would admit the possibility that we might be in error.
To her credit, Avril finally said, "Look. I'll tell you what. I'll admit I'm wrong if you admit I was right."
"Fine." I said.
She took a deep breath, looked me in the eye and said, "I'm wrong."
I grinned and replied, "You're right."

Two caterpillars are sitting on a leaf when a butterfly zooms by, startling them.
One turns to the other and says, "Boy, you'll never get me up in one of those things."

I've been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have twokids myself, but the best birth story I know is the one Isaw in my own second-grade classroom a few years back.When I was a kid, I loved show-and-tell. So I always have afew sessions with my students. It helps them get overshyness, and usually show-and-tell is pretty tame. Kidsbring in pet turtles, model airplanes, pictures of fish theycatch, stuff like that. And I never, ever place anyboundaries or limitations on them. If they want to lug it toschool and talk about it, they're welcome.Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, veryoutgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front ofthe class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holdsup a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother,and I'm going to tell you about his birthday."First, Mom and Dad made him as a symbol of their love, andthen Dad put a seed in Mom's stomach, and Luke grew inthere. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord."She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'mtrying not to laugh and wishing I had my camcorder with me.The kids are watching her in amazement."Then, about two Saturdays ago, my mom starts saying andgoing, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" Erica puts a hand behind her back andgroans. "She walked around the house for like an hour. 'Oh,oh, oh!'" Now the kid's doing this hysterical duck walk,holding her back and groaning. "My dad called the middlewife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign onthe car like the Domino's man."They got my mom to lie down in bed like this." Then Ericalies down with her back against the wall. "And then, pop! Mymom had this bag of water she kept in there in case he gotthirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed,like psshhheew!" This kid has her legs spread and with herlittle hands are miming water flowing away. It was too much!"Then the middle wife starts saying, 'push, push' and'breathe, breathe.' They started counting, but never evengot past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother.He was covered in yucky stuff; they all said was from Mom'splay-center, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there."Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow, and returnedto her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever sincethen, if it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder, justin case another Erica comes along.

Tax CodeThe U.S. Tax Code is pretty complex, but sometimes there are little nuggets of clarity that really make sense. Yesterday in my class we read from the Internal Revenue Code.Section 708(a) of the Internal Revenue Code states: "...an existing partnership shall be considered as continuing if it is not terminated."I guess it's just like an individual shall be considered as alive if he or she is not dead.
