1. Snails can sleep up to 3 years. Not so amazing actually since I managed to sleep thru 6 years of jr. high and high school. And when you think about it, what do snails have to do all their lives? Sure, they leave great slime trails and make excellent targets for salt shakers and little boys, but other than that there's not much more to do but sleep after an exhausting run across a sidewalk.
2. American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served in first-class. Until I read this, I was convinced that there was an olive missing from my salad, yet no one would believe me. Now I am vindicated! I am now searching for proof that the airlines have taken one peanut from each bag .. I'll keep you posted.
3. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. After reading this, I realized that I know of many people with the same problem! But that's an article about politicians I'm working on. For me, it's usually that my eyes are bigger than my stomach...
4. Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. Well, I'd like to see anyone keep this up long enough to actually lose 150 calories. Now that I think about it, I DON'T want to see...
5. Donald Duck comics were banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants. This is completely understandable.. I mean, who wants to look at a duck with no pants on? Besides, I understand that it is the law for all birds to wear pants in the city limits of Finland.
6. If you pass gas consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. I tried to prove or disprove this, but two things stopped me ... I couldn't stand to look at a bowl of chili after the third day, and my girlfriend threatened to leave me ... although it was kinda hard to tell what she was really saying with that gasmask on.
7. In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. Now, this piece of trivia leaves ALOT to the imagination, which is probably a good thing. BUT, I would like to point out, you'd have to be pretty limber to get some on those hairs .. nuff said.
8. The ant always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. I know this trivia fact isn't true 'cause I've gone drinking with my ants several times and I've watched them fall over in several different directions... usually they tend to fall on my uncles tho.
9. The average human eats eight spiders in their lifetime at night. I don't know about this fact ... I've seen several spiders at night and never once felt compelled to eat one. Though I hear that spider is tasty if barbequed correctly.
10. And now for our final fun trivia fact: Females Lions do the lions share of the work when it comes to hunting and cub raising ... Males tend to sun themslves alot and some of them mate over 50 times a day... No wonder the females do all the work.
Parenthood is the greatest stage of a person's life. Parenting is associated with a lot of responsibilities. Among them are being responsible for the baby, delivering and raising the kid with the most delicate love and care, giving them their basic needs and teaching them to become responsible adults. From this basic list of responsibilities, we will conclude that being a great parent isn't that difficult.
Bad parenting choices can end up to mistakes performed by children not only in the family, but also in the classroom and community. Differing examples of teen suicide are possible. Poorly fed children can also result from lazy parenting.
The rate of children continuing their primary and higher schooling is falling. Property crimes are now involving some children. Moreover, the most chilling, teenage pregnancy as early as the age of 14, and many of them have an abortion because they do not want to be sent from their families if they know about it. Social mistakes committed that could end up in irresponsible individuals.
Whom else can we blame? Instead of blaming parents out there, it is better to give them the basics of great parenting. It might reverse the current events just listed above. Superior parenting might also prevent worse things to happen some time from now.
What is the guiding mission of great parenting? According to Dr Michael Dana, a youth affairs expert for the Federal Government. states: its mission is to "foster the children in a way that allows them to grow up to be normal, productive and law-abiding adults who have realized their God-given potentials".
