Interlibrary Loan of the day

10 Minute Life Lessons For Kids is packed with 52 games that will help teach kids things like courage, honesty, and kindness. Captain ILL wishes that this book was published in 1968 instead of 1998. His most vivid life lesson involved his parents stranding him in the middle of a desert with only a toothbrush, a packet of ketchup, and a can of Pepsi. Things were different in those days though; I doubt parents could get away with that kind of thing now unless they were celebrities. In any case, the life lessons in this book seem to be geared towards parents with a much softer hand, so you should be able to try them out without getting arrested.

At least your parents were on the job where your dental hygiene was concerned. Your post does bring up an interesting question (that I'm pretty sure you have been anticipating): Are your parents superheros? Do you have superhero siblings?
