After a harrowing day of blistering heat, stop and go traffic, road rage and trying patience, I am reminded of this story:
Parents ask their little boy what he wants for his birthday. The boy replies that he wants a different and unique pet.
So the parents bring him to a pet store where they buy him a 100 legged talking centipede. It came with a little white box that was it's home.
The little boy was very pleased with his new pet and put it in his room. He then asked his new pet, "Do you want to go to school with me today?" There was no answer. He asked again, "Do you want to go to school with me today?" Again, there was no answer. Frustrated, he picked up the white box and shouted, "Hey, Mr. Centipede. Do you want to go to school with me today?"
Then, a little voice spoke from the box saying, "I heard you the first time. I'm putting my shoes on!"
