‘Mr. Xperience Says’ – #2

 

Last time Mr. Xperience gave you essential advice about sex.  Today, he is guiding you in your child rearing.  He just wants to help.

 

changing diapers is dangerous!

 

My mother told I did this many times on the changing table.  She also said more than once she did not block it effectively.  I probably should have apologized to her for that.  

Moms, has this happened to you?  Men, don’t wait to be told this story by your mother. Go apologize to her for peeing so rudely. And now that you have control of your limbs and bladder, lift the seat up before and put it down after.

If You Make People Think They’re Thinking, They Will Love You

“If You Make People Think They’re Thinking, They Will Love You. If You Make Them Think, They’ll Hate You.” – Don Marquis

This quote is particularly important for me. I have a long history within the christian church and I had to part ways intellectually with it, in many ways due to the truth behind this quote. The traditional christian church isn’t really interested in its congregants thinking freely. They want to give the illusion of thinking through ideas. But in the end they fully expect that the answer they supply will be accepted and further questions will be not be forthcoming.

I was not comfortable being a youth leader when I was basically not allowed to encourage the students to really think for themselves, especially considering I had daughters in the youth group. Luckily my daughters have all become thinkers in their own right, often leading the way for my progress in the world of ideas.
