Oh How I Miss It....

Did You Grow Up With A Junk Drawer? If You Couldn't Find Something You Would Find Yourself Hollering, Where Is....? Check The Junk Drawer. Everything In The Kitchen Seem To Have It's Place. If There Was Something You Wasn't Sure Where It Went, Put It In The Junk Drawer. All Kinds Of Cool Stuff Was In There. There Was String, Tape, Batteries, Pens, Pencils, Scissors, Etc. You Have To Check It Often Because You Never Know What Kind Of Goodies Will Be In There.
I Don't Recall Having A Junk Drawer After I Left Home. I'm Not Sure If My Parents Have Kept Up With The Junk Drawer. If They Have I Sure Wouldn't Mind Checking It Out Sometime.

Acceptance

I Just Finished Watching A Movie About A Young Boy Who Was New At The School. He Wanted To Learn But His Father Thought It Was A Waste Of Time. Maybe It Was Because His Father Never Achieved What This Young Boy Yearned For. This Boy's Teacher Gave Him A Dictionary That Once Belonged To Her Son. By Learning New Words In His Mind Was Taking A Journey. It Makes Sense One Would Think That Way.
Anyway This Young Boy Would Flip Through The Pages And Learn New Words And What They Mean. He Entered A Spelling Bee At His School. Long Story Short, His Father Walked Into The School When The Contest Dwindled Down To Two Spellers. The Young Boy Won The Contest. It Made It More Special Because The Young Boy Knew His Father Watched Him Win. A Proud Moment For The Both Of Them.
Of Course This Is Just One Instance Of Wanting Acceptance From Your Parent. Some Spend A Lifetime Searching For It. Some Never Find It.
It's An Inspiration Being A Parent. It's A Bigger Inspiration If You Are A Good Parent. Always Acknowledge Your Child's Accomplishments. It Would Mean A Lot More Than You Could Ever Imagine.
So The Young Boy Impressed His Father After Winning The Spelling Bee. He Didn't Have To Spend A Lifetime Searching For Acceptance. A Happy Ending To His Story.
