My mother taught me about WORLD NEWS
" Eat everything on your plate. There are starving children in Ethiopia that would die for this food."
Maybe that's how she taught me about PAIN, also. The first time she said this to me I said, "Then why don't you put it in a box and mail it to them?"
DAMN........she had a strong backhand!
