I feel compelled to comment on the recent legal action about the two girls playing in the swimming pool.
Sure, like everybody else, my first reaction was, "They were just having fun!"
But then my mind went back to the last place my bride and I lived. A neighbor we had, had two boys, and a girl. The girl was the youngest. A cute little curley blonde headed girl, that loved to scream. I think her brothers loved to make her scream. My wife and I tolerated it. Luckily, they got evicted after a short period of time.
I think it's the parents responsibility to make sure their fun didn't encroach on the neighbor's right to peace and quiet.
I will never forget one of my mom's favorite sayings: You're rights end, where another person's rights begin.
At first I've supressed this thought, but I'm going to go ahead and say it........since they HAVE a swimming pool, there's a good chance the girls are spoiled rotten, anyway. Now, if you're going to say, my kids have a swimming pool, and their not spoiled, DON'T.
I left an "out" when I said "there's a good chance".
Second, you're not the best judge of whether your kids are spoiled, or not.
Back to the case, I'd be willing to bet, there mother could be quoted as saying, "I have NEVER laid a hand on my children."
Lastly, why do women scream. Is it a natural reaction to fear? The times when I've been scared the most is when I've opened my mouth, and nothing comes out. What makes them think that screaming is going to make things better. Do women scream at concerts, because they are scared of the singers? Now we have them screaming when they are extremely happy, and when they are extremely scared. What is the connection there?

Well, now here I am, a man, trying to understand women. Where's my sign?
