Katy and the Wolf
When Katy was two we were watching a Planet Earth DVD where a white wolf catches a terrified Caribou calf. When the wolf caught the baby reindeer we were concerned about what Katy would think. Turns out she wasn’t worried about the deer. She was sitting there cheering for the wolf!

Shots
A friend posted this on Facebook:
[Name] does not like shots but she does like the nice ladies who give the shots and take care of you when react to them.
I thought she was talking about alcohol and didn’t realize my error until I read the other comments.I thought the “nice ladies” were the bartenders.
Computers and Education
It turns out that giving kids computers can make them to worse in school instead of better. This effect is particularly noticeable in low income families. Computers don’t have any type of intrinsic educational value. In families where computer use is not monitored and guided, a home PC and Internet access appears to cause lower test scores.
