Often as I am washing dishes or just sitting here at the computer, my mind wanders and starts to think of things I don't know such as the following question to Kylie.
Kylie, is the term "Aussie" considered derogatory to Austrailians? I know to call me an Indian is just fine with me. But some person(s) decided that it wasn't PC. So overnght I became a Native American. I have always been an American. And I think like one, more than I do Indian. But I do take offense at being called a redskin. I have yet to see an Indian with redskin. My father and grandfather certainly didn't have redskin.
I am also curious about religions and the reasons behind their practices. (Thank you Charlie) I grew up in an Italian Catholic neighborhood. I think my family was the only Protestant one.
Another question. Do you believe in spanking? Having raised five children, I can understand very easily a parent losing their own temper. Kids ceertainly try us. But I always tried to remember that kids do exactly what they are supposed to be doing at their particular age. Two years old and they love the word "No!" Four years old and temper tantrums come into play. Any age is open to "I hate you! I wish you weren't my mother." But sometimes a swat on the bottom just seems fit at the moment. What I can't get my head wrapped around is how can you neglect or abuse a child.
