J. was talking with his 12-year-old daughter who, like lots of middle schoolers, is expert at laying down the "It's not fair!" argument for pretty much everything that doesn't go her way.<br /><br />P. J. said to her, "You're cute. That isn't fair. You're smart. That isn't fair. You live in the United States of America. That certainly isn't fair. You'd better get down on your knees and pray to God that life doesn't start being 'fair' for you!"<br /><br />The Town Crank<br />NeenahSteve Erbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05065643506800242801noreply@blogger.com
