rant.

i believe that we are raising a generation of weenies. that’s right. weenies. and i don’t mean the cute little ones you call “pigs in a blanket” and wrap up in tiny crescent rolls, or slather in nasty barbecue in your crock pot for holiday gatherings (yuck.). i mean our kids are wimps, folks. wussies.
