Message: [QUOTE="Argonaut, post: 3460835, member: 9658"] You know how sometimes you tell your kids to do something (or not to do something...) hundreds of times, and they ignore you because, well, what do you know? Then, magically, they do it, but say, "Johnny's dad said if I..." If I was as mindful of my mother's advice as I was of the advice my friends' mothers were giving me, I would have become much less of a jerk a lot sooner. When I was in the classroom (I'm a librarian now), I was amazed at the number of times a kid moved onto their junior year and then, in passing conversation, would tell me about something that their new teacher taught them that I showed them over and over and over... Sometimes it just needs to come from a different voice -- after all, with as many years as Jamelle has spent with Geno and CD, I'm going to guess the message is the same. [/QUOTE]
