Just thought I'd share this...
"You have a brain in your head and feet in your shoes
You can go wherever you choose."

Doctor Suess - from "Oh The Places You'll GO"

My DH came across this quote and made t-shirts for all of us to wear. It was a nice effort on his part and DD (the one who has been a real challenge) wears it all the time to bed. It really got her thinking! I do think it helped her make some changes.

I love it and remember it well. I did my senior term paper on the moral values presented in the literature of Dr. Seuss. This was in the late 70's, long before his death, and little had been written about him. It was a very difficult topic but one that I choose. Since it was honors English, it had to be on a piece of literature. The choices she gave us were so dry and boring - the typical stuff. I wanted something different and interesting so I talked to the lady that taught Children's Literature for the English dept of a local university and she gave me a list of topics. My teacher approved. I got an A and was very happy. I was a little disappointed that both of my girls choose the boring typical stuff.
