Urgent note to my parents....

Don't ask me to do what I can't do

Only ask me to do what I can.

Don't ask me to be what I can't be

Only ask me to be what I am.

Don't one minute say "Be a big girl"

And the next, "you're to little for that"

Please don't ask me to be where I can't be

Please be happy with right where I'm at.

Hiawyn Oram.

* Well let's think about it!!! We adults are always asking the children to do things that, to them, are very contradictory ...a definite fact!!! Only yesterday I heard one of my students say ..."Humph, these adults are all crazy...none of them know what they really want"...!!!
