Anyone's who's worked with that age group or has young kids know they can be a handful, especially those who go out of their way to exert their independence and make trouble.

There is a young girl named Hannah in that class who is one of "those". We're always corralling her and making her treat the other children nicely and stay in her desk. Hannah is very mischievous, loves to pull pranks, and is very independent. There is no problem she can't solve, and if you try to help her she begins to shut down mentally and emotionally. You'll most likely get a tantrum as well. These problems extend to such things as putting puzzles together, coloring pictures, or putting her desk in order. Hannah knows she can do it, and isn't scared to tell you that.

It surprised me then, when we all went out to recess on the playground and she came up to me and asked me to tie her shoe. I asked her if she was sure she wanted me to tie it and Hannah said very emphatically that she wanted me to tie her shoe at that very moment. I then proceeded to sit down and tie this little 3 year-old's shoe for her. While I was busy tying, she put both her arms around my left arm(as far as she could reach anyway) and gave me a hug and kind of nuzzled my shoulder with her head.

I thought we were having "that moment" in the movies when the teacher finally breaks through to a troublesome student. You know, that moment when everything seems to click and the teacher and student come to some greater understanding of each other? It was like that. I kind of sat there stunned as I was being hugged by this little three year old and then realized this could be the beginning of something big in our student-teacher relationship. I let her hug me, finished tying her shoe, gave her a big smile and said "Ok Hannah, your shoe is tied. You can go play now!" Hannah gave me a big smile, giggled, and then ran off to play.

I felt pretty good about myself.:smilies0275:

It wasn't until a bit later that I looked down and noticed a string of snot that went from side to side along my shoulder where Hannah nuzzled my arm. Devious little Hannah had decided to play a practical joke on me and use my sleeve as a tissue while I was tying her shoe, blissfully unaware of her hidden agenda.

It's a pretty big bruise to the ego when a three year-old outsmarts you.:tongue: I'll think twice from now on before I tie any more shoes!:smilies1722: ]]> Good Clean Fun Hank Crofford http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?1977-Hannah My son, the attorney. http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?1949-My-son-the-attorney.&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:42:20 GMT When my mother was called for jury duty, she felt confident of her ability to answer the questions asked of prospective jurors.

As a young attorney, I had filled her in on what to expect.

Asked about the occupations of family members, Mom answered, "My son is a lawyer."

As a follow-up, she was asked if she had ever used the services of an attorney.

Scott,
I started this thread just for you so you can be told by everyone how correct you are.

All (im)posters welcome....:smilies0041: ]]> Good Clean Fun David Troxler http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?1892-Correction-Scott-Sherwood My name is Rose. http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?1888-My-name-is-Rose.&goto=newpost Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:23:31 GMT The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being..

She said, 'Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?'

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, 'Of course you may!' and she gave me a giant squeeze..

'Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?' I asked.

She jokingly replied, 'I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...'

'No seriously,' I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

'I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!' she told me.

After class, we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me..

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, 'I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.'

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, ' We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody! Can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets..'

She concluded her speech by courageously singing 'The Rose.'

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those months ago.

One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they'll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Pass this message on to 7 people, You will receive a miracle tomorrow (if you don't think so...look out your window when you wake in the morning and think about it)

If you choose not, then you refuse to bless someone else.

'Good friends are like stars..... .....You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.'

Low bass singer hits the high notes http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?1852-Low-bass-singer-hits-the-high-notes&goto=newpost Sun, 29 Aug 2010 02:37:51 GMT This isn't my video but I was in the auditorium for this event. It was billed as the "low bass contest" but was really a showcase featuring the bass singers from various southern gospel quartets. In this video they decide to create a quartet of all bass singers with them doing the various traditional quartet parts. The joke was who was going to end up singing the first tenor part so they keep switching around.

Now, remember, all four of these guys are professional men's quartet basses. They can all sing amazingly low notes.

The quartet ends up with Gene McDonald, a real bass singers bass, on first tenor. To the amazement of the congregation he climbs the ladder hitting some pretty impressive first tenor notes. The video ends before the encore, but as I remember, once they get to the top of McDonald's range, one of the professional first tenors takes the mic from him and takes it to the stratosphere.

It's not the best video quality, but I enjoyed that showcase so much that, when I found it, I thought I'd share it with those who like stuff like this. If you don't want to watch the skit, skip to the last third and watch it.
