Has anyone read this little piece by Jay Heinrichs?

I fell asleep before I could read it last night, but this morning --and what a beautifully sunny morning it is-- it certainly entertained me over an early breakfast.

I think it's high time some people in my family did with a little ethos, pathos and logos here

What do you have against Americans? surely you're not full of your own importance to think you're better in any way.

Indeed, it's very good.

Not all Parents...many, but not all.

How many children do you know of that respond as quickly as author's and the little one mentioned in this thread?

One of my nieces is very similar too, her mum home schools them all and they're all very bright and quick on the mark with witty responses that don't offend but intrigue.
