    A friend of mine sent me an email with a link to this commercial, and I think it has a very strong message.  If we could all learn to encourage one another, and not be so cold in our responses to unexpected happenings, maybe the world would be a better place.  If you have any problems viewing this video here on the Z-Issue, there is a link for it on YouTube (provided it isn&#039;t taken down for one reason or another).&lt;br /&gt;

    Priceless...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For weeks a five-year-old boy kept telling his kindergarten teacher about the baby sister or brother that was expected at his house.  One day the mother allowed her son to feel the movements of the unborn baby.  The five-year-old was obviously impressed, but made no comment.  Moreover, he stopped telling the teacher about the awaiting event.  Finally the teacher sat the child on her lap and said, &quot;Lucas, whatever has become of that baby brother or sister you were expecting at home?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lucas burst into tears and confessed, &quot;I think Mommy ate it!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

    Another installment in the style of &lt;I&gt;Kids Say the Darndest Things&lt;/I&gt;, these are the thoughts that some children have about the ocean:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Kelly, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;Oysters&#039; balls are called pearls.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Jerry, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;If you are surrounded by ocean you are an Island.  If you don&#039;t have ocean all round you, you are incontinent.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Wayne, age 7&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She&#039;s not my friend any more.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Kylie, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Billy, age 8&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Millie, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes when the wind didn&#039;t blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;William, age 7&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids.  They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Helen, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;I&#039;m not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can&#039;t think what to write.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Amy, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting.  Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Christopher, age 7&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Kevin, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Divers can&#039;t go down alone, so they have to go down on each other.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Becky, age 8&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast . She says she won&#039;t do it again because water fired right up her big fat ass.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Julie, age 7&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don&#039;t drown I don&#039;t know.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;Bobby, age 6&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;FONT color=&quot;#0000AA&quot;&gt;My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn&#039;t know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
--&lt;FONT color=&quot;#CC0000&quot;&gt;James, age 7&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
