Catherine's Birthday

My daughter turned two yesterday. I think the world would be a happier place if all of us had a toddler in our lives. It is impossible to be unhappy when a small child hugs you. And it is hard to get too self-important when you are changing a messy diaper.

Not to mention that they serve as a constant reminder of what is truly important in life. They are the best teachers for helping us learn that genuine happiness (i.e. joy, not physical pleasure) comes to those who love selflessly.

Let's face it, toddlers enhance mental health, improve moral virtue and promote personal responsibility.

No wonder married voters with children vote overwhelmingly for the GOP.

Son-Of-Scrutinator, aspiring to toddlerhood, agrees completely.

Actually, it is my 5th decade. And I am, as noted in a previous post, "older than dirt."
