“All children are essentially criminal.”   —   Denis Diderot

(No.  He’s not one of those “original sin” nuts!  Cha-ching!  This is just a little of his tongue-in-cheek humor.  There are loads of clever quips on children out there.  Most of them were made by parents!  Be well, do good . . . and, “Beat your child once a day. If you don’t know why, the child does.” — Chinese proverb  Well-ll, “beat” might be a little strong!  Just let them know you’re on to them!  Remember the bumper sticker:  Kids . . . You can’t Beat ‘Em!)   —   YUR

(The guy with two pair – Aces and Kings – had his *winnings* already spent!  Sometimes you’re so sure you’re going to succeed, and something better steals your thunder.  Other times you think you can’t possibly win, but somehow do!  La vie!  Elle est une chienne, non ?  Certainement!  No new words today, kids.  You can all go back to sleep, or work, or whatever it is you do when you’re not scouring the pages of Unclerave’s.  Be well, do good . . . and don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched, friends!)   —   YUR
