I think it was an overscheduled toddler phenomenon; you don't just wander over to the neighbor's yard when you see the other kid outside. First you have to fill out an application. Once approved you must pass a background check. Then and only then are you eligible to play with the other child when there's an opening, so long as your parents meet income requirements and sign a waiver. Added qualifications such as a second and third home, one nanny per child and a personal chef make it more likely that you will be penciled in for the opening. This is a strictly at-will position so expect to be dumped if a cooler child becomes available.
To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.

Father Solanus Casey
"Even suffering is part of the truth of our life. Thus, trying to shield the youngest from every difficulty and experience of suffering, we risk creating, despite our good intentions, fragile persons of little generosity: The capacity to love, in fact, corresponds to the capacity to suffer, and to suffer together." ~Benedict XVI

Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth.
Thank you everyone that voted for the Kneeler at the Cannonball awards!!
Words of Father Corapi, for all my politician friends and relatives and those who vote for them
"Catholic office holders, whether presidents, senators, congress men or women, or judges at any level must adhere to Catholic teaching or run the risk of separating themselves from the Body of Christ. In such egregious and chronic cases of gross moral evil such as instituting and perpetuating abortion and the structures of sin that surround it, it is quite probable that such Catholic officials are excommunicated in virtue of the acts themselves. A latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication is likely triggered when they vote for laws, funding, and structures that enable and perpetuate such obvious and egregious evil (Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canons 1364,1398; Canon 1329, par. #2). They are in turn forbidden from approaching the sacraments as the result (Cf. Catechism of Catholic Church #1463)."
"It is not morally possible for any Catholic to support abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, or same-sex marriage. There are no ways around this, no justifications whatever. Why? For the simple reason that the Church holds these things to be intrinsically evil. They are evil in themselves, and no circumstances or subjective conditions can ever change that."

It came with the term "rug rats"
ROFL
My dad always called us rug rats, fondly of course. My kids are chipmunks. Evolution.
My grandfather called us mugwumps (mugs on 1 side, wumps on the other)

I just ask to see that they have been vaccinated against rabies.
