When I went to get my driver's license renewed, our local Motor Vehicle Bureau was packed. The line inched along for almost an hour until the man ahead of me finally got his license. He inspected his photo for a moment and commented to the clerk, "I was standing in line so long, I ended up looking pretty grouchy in this picture." The clerk looked at his picture closely, and reassured him, "It's okay. That's how you're going to look when the cops pull you over anyway." Page 7

A family had twin boys whose only resemblance to each other was their looks. If one felt it was too hot, the other thought it was too cold. If one said the TV was too loud, the other claimed the volume needed to be turned up. Opposite in every way, one was an eternal optimist, the other a doom and gloom pessimist.
August 28th, 2018
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.� - Maya Angelou
Just to see what would happen, on the twins' birthday, their father loaded the pessimist's room with every imaginable toy and game. The optimist's room, he loaded with horse manure. That night the father passed by the pessimist's room and found him sitting amid his new gifts crying bitterly. "Why are you crying?" the father asked. "Because my friends will be jealous, I'll have to read the all these instructions before I can do anything with this stuff, I'll constantly need batteries, and my toys will eventually get broken." answered the pessimistic twin. Passing the optimistic twin's room, the father found him dancing for joy in the pile of manure. "What are you so happy about?" he asked. To which his optimistic twin replied, "There's got to be a pony in here somewhere!"

“THE STATUE”
Peace River Shopper
I was just starting to really get scared about what my sister was showing me when the lights go out and the door shuts. My sister starts yelling for mamma and I am so scared I can’t move. The lights come back on and the door opens and it’s mamma. She had seen the light on in dad’s office and thought he had left it on when he left for Chicago. Then she wants to know what we are doing down here. We tell her what we thought we had found. You can tell that she is not buying what we are selling and thinks that we are just acting like kids and to forget about that old statue. But, she does agree that the old statue is very scary. As we go out the door together, I turn to look at the statue one last time before we go and I swear it blinked. I didn’t say a word, I just hurried up and got in front of everybody and went up the stairs. Neither of us went back down there until dad came home. We were very happy to see him as always and couldn’t wait to tell him what had happened. When he finally went down to his office, my sister and I were right by his side. With him sitting in his chair and us standing on the other side of his office, the side the gargoyle wasn’t, we begin to tell him how we were so sure the statue had moved. He reached over and picked up the statue. He turns to us and asks, does this thing really scare you guys? Well, yes it does, we said. He thumps the head of the statue with his finger and it sounds solid. MM, he says, they must have made this a solid filled statue, that’s very unusual. Maybe I can make up a good story about this thing. If it scares you guys then it might scare other people. Great, now this statue is going to be all we talk about. All the talking in the world is not going to convince me that I didn’t see something move. Believe me, I would rather think I was wrong, but the thought of that thing moving has cost me and my sister plenty of sleep. It didn’t really matter if we went downstairs or not, the statue was all we talked about at dinner. Now dad was beginning his story and that meant even more talking, but after a while the talking slowed down and we began to stop thinking about it as much. Maybe as long as we didn’t see the thing, we could finally start getting some sleep. And that did work for a while until dad asked us to take another look at the statue. He wanted to know if after all this time it would still scare us. Of course that didn’t make us happy to know that he wanted us to go down to his office again with that statue down there, but we decide to help dad out and down we went. We both had dad go ahead of us and we followed. I was the brave one and walked right over to the statue and picked it up. It seemed heavier than I had remembered. When I turned to my sister to show her the statue, she was holding her breath. Walking toward her I began to tell her that it was ok. Trying to hand her the statue was not a good idea, she just screamed and ran upstairs. Turning back to dad, I told him I thought that this thing had gotten heavier. He took the statue from me and admitted that it did feel more solid. As he put it down he says to me that he thinks it may have gotten a little taller too. He said he had never measured it, but it looked like it had gotten bigger. Then he thought that we were overreacting to the thing and it was probably just a mistake. So he says to me, let’s measure this thing so next time we will be sure, so he gets out the tape and measures the statue. This time when he goes to sit the thing down, he set it down over in the corner of his office beside his fish tank. The light of the tank was just enough to show the wings of the statue. It looked like it was flying out of that tank. It was kind of scary to me and I told dad so, but he just laughed and told me to go to bed. All night long that’s all I could think about was that darn statue. But now it was even more scary to me because I continued to think it had gotten bigger. And if it had gotten bigger, how???

Pay Attention to Attendance: Keep Your Child On Track in Middle and High School Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in kindergarten and continuing through high school. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school safely every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.
DID YOU KNOW? • Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged, successful and on track to graduation. • Absences can be a sign that a student is losing interest in school, struggling with school work, dealing with a bully or facing some other potentially serious dif culty. • By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school. • By 9th grade, regular and high attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores. • Missing 10 percent, or about 18 days, of the school year can drastically affect a student’s academic success. • Students can be chronically absent even if they only miss a day or two every few weeks. • Attendance is an important life skill that will help your child graduate from college and keep a job.
WHAT YOU CAN DO Make school attendance a priority • Talk about the importance of showing up to school everyday, make that the expectation. • Help your child maintain daily routines, such as nishing homework and getting a good night’s sleep. • Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day. • Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. Complaints of headaches or stomach aches may be signs of anxiety. Help your teen stay engaged • Find out if your child feels engaged by his classes and feels safe from bullies and other threats. Make sure he/she is not missing class because of behavioral issues and school discipline policies. If any of these are problems, work with your school. • Stay on top of academic progress and seek help from teachers or tutors if necessary. Make sure teachers know how to contact you. • Stay on top of your child’s social contacts. Peer pressure can lead to skipping school, while students without many friends can feel isolated. • Encourage meaningful afterschool activities, including sports and clubs. Communicate with the school • Know the school’s attendance policy – incentives and penalities • Talk to teachers if you notice sudden changes in behavior. These could be tied to something going on at school. • Check on your child’s attendance to be sure absences are not piling up. • Ask for help from school of cials, afterschool programs, other parents or community agencies if you’re having trouble getting your child to school.
