Proverbs - As Told by First Graders
First graders were asked by a teacher to finish famous proverbs and gave some funny answers.
 
Better to be safe than... "punch a 5th grader."

Strike while the... "bug is close." 

Never underestimate the power of... "termites."

No news is... "impossible."

A miss is as good as a... "Mr."

A penny saved is... "not much."

You get out of something what you... "see pictured on the box."

A Guide to Your Parents' Real Estate
New homeYou may hope it will never happen, but one day you may find that your parents or older relatives need your help to manage their home. How will you carry out the sacred trust of getting the best price or helping them keep the property, and age in place? Even more difficult, may be guiding them to choose their next home, especially if they resist moving. To do the job right, you need to be both savvy about real estate and sensitive to handling the emotions of older loved ones.

Being a Good Sport... Parent

What's wrong with grown-ups these days? Are some of them just aging failed athletes trying to live vicariously through their athletic children? Anxious moms and dads hoping that their kids can snare college sports scholarships? Or fanatic parents pushing their offspring to become elite athletes with specialized training and personal coaches, whether the child wants it or not? All of the above, say youth sports experts.
