"That is whack!"

If you think about it, we live in a pretty backwards society. We seem to have forgotten what's truly important. I did some research on annual salaries, and what I discovered astounded and appalled me:
Teacher: $40,000
What they do: Act as academic, social, and emotional mentors. Encourage learning.

NFL athletic coach: $85,000
What they do: Induce unhealthy competitiveness. Create sore losers.

Can someone please explain to me why the ability to kick a football is valued as more than twice as important as the acquisition of knowledge???

This one really gets me...

Social worker: $55,000
What they do: Provide social and emotional support. Act as advocates for the well-being of others.

"Reality TV" stars (Real Housewives, specifically): $1,500,000
What they do: Pick fights and act catty. Gossip and lie about others.

Those frickin' rich bitches are paid nearly THIRTY times more to behave badly towards others than I will be to help improve the quality of life for countless clients?? Excuse me?????

There is something so wrong with these numbers!!!!!

A Fairy Tale: The Not-So Classic version!

Once upon a time, there was a dog named Thor.

Thor likes to explore. One day, he decided that my bedroom would be a fun place for an adventure.

Thor came lolloping down the hallway, ready for some fun.

But when he got to my doorway, he paused.


What caused Thor to hesitate?
(can you see her? Look carefully!)

There was a TROLL under the BRIDGE!! ... I mean, a CAT under my BED!


Spitter: "Who's that galloping down the hallway? Why are you standing in my doorway?"
Thor: "I'm coming in to sniff around because I've never been in here before!"

 
Spitter: "Oh no you're not! Not until you pay the TROLL!...I mean the TOLL!"


Unfortunately, Thor didn't have any money... (or catnip)...

So he went somewhere Spitter never gets to go!

OUTSIDE!!!


Leaving Spitter inside with all her hard-earned troll (I mean toll) money.


"And they both lived (separately) happily ever after!"

THE END
