  One thing I love to hear about is new and cool inventions. The place where you can find these is at the Consumer Electronics Show. One invention I just learned about is a robot that folds laundry for you. How neat is that!? Now you can wash and dry your clothes and let the robot do the rest. Cool! There is one drawback. You have to feed the robot each item one at a time. You have to stand there and help the robot. Yeah, that needs work.

  I was in the store the other day and I saw this boy, about five years old, get excited because he saw something nifty. It was a large Halloween skull. He picked it up and took it to his mom. She didn't say no. She said, in a calm voice, "That's really cool. We're not buying it today." The boy didn't put up a fuss. He didn't even look unhappy. He just put the skull back on the shelf as his mother said, "But it's really cool."
  I was amazed. No temper tamper. No crying. No stamping feet. He just put it back.
  I began to wonder, could this work with other kids. Let's say your fifteen year old daughter brings home a shaggy boy she likes. You could say, "He's really cool. We're not dating him today." What if your thirteen old son wanted to do a back flip off the roof into the pool. You could say, "That's really cool. We're not busting our head open today." Yeah, I think that would work.
