This is quoted from the wonderful book
"Shouting at the Sky" By Gary Ferguson

"Autobiography in Five Short Chapters"

CHAPTER ONE
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault!
It takes forever to find a way out.

CHAPTER TWO
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in...again.
I can't believe I am in the same place!
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

CHAPTER THREE
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the side walk.
I see it there.
I STILL fall in...it's a habit
My eyes are open...I know where I am.
It's my fault.
I get out immediately.

CHAPTER FOUR
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

CHAPTER FIVE
I walk down another street.

LOL - yep, that's our difficult children! I don't even mind if it takes 5 chapters to walk down a different street, as long as they eventually learn to. lol.

Thanks for sharing.
