Life Is Not a Dress Rehearsal

“She called me a bad name.” “He took my toy.” “She didn’t like my dress.” “I had it first.” Ah yes, the thrill of being young again. Remember how important these things seemed when we were young? In retrospect, they now seem so trivial.

You’d think we’d have learned something from our kindergarten days, wouldn’t you?
