I pity the fellow who would get stuck reading a 6000 page essay on meth, written in longhand.

At the end of summer when my oldest was 14, I had grown sick of her "it's all about me" attitude, so I finally told her that all activities (computer and phone included) were suspended until she wrote me a paper and listed 100 things she appreciated about living in our family.

It took her about a day, and I didn't tell her at the time, but there were certain things I was going to look for - and she actually hit on all of them.

That little assignment complete, the next phase was for her to read her list every night before she went to bed for two weeks. It really opened her eyes to all that we did for her, and her "me-me-me" attitude never returned. And in the future, the mere threat of another paper was sufficient to keep her AND her younger sisters in line. Power to the Pencil, LOL!

Best paper ever.Warning: some really bad language, but funny. Sourced from CollegeHumor.com, so that should give you some idea.

This being California, I thought they were talking about illegally selling a Quarter Pounder to an undercover cop. After all, pot is on the verge of being “legal” in The Bear State, whereas Quarter Pounders are on the verge of being illegal. So, I could definitely see the cop being much more interested in the burger than the lettuce.

A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.

Excellant, I wish I had thought of that years ago while raising mine. Thanks for sharing, and hope others use it.

He probably was arrested for the weed. He was probably arrested for illegal use of plastic bags without a license.

Another hit of pot and he'll forget.

That was bizarre. The person grading the paper wasn’t much better, though (”page is to long”).
