At some point in the novel, Bella describes to her father that she is going shopping for a dress for her friend. But you aren't going to the dance, was the father's question (as it would mine) she explained it to him. Then she opined that she wouldn't have had to explain this to her mother. <BR/><BR/>Opinion: It seems like we as a society are struggling to find a thing that will bring, health, happiness, knowledge, energy etc. We are so crushingly wealthy (in my opinion because we have managed to avoid WWIII and are enjoying relative peace as a world) as a world that we, everywhere, are trying to create a thing which will bring all the spiritual things we long for. The thing that is going to bring what we want for the children is the gospel of Jesus Christ no thing or collections of things. My parents generation not only smoked around babies, didn't breastfeed, and had children while put under with ether, apparently it was wonderful because you woke up and there was the baby! It was dopey because it got the ether also but that was okay. Also when you were teething my mother and your great grandmother were comparing notes at how to "help you deal with the teething," AKA stop you from crying. You might want to wrap the baby bjorn around your head... Mom said give the child paregoric, a powerful narcotic which was only available via prescription before I guess it was taken off the market. Great Grandma who lived with us was less delicate she said rub whiskey on your gums. Maybe because while the stuff was there, we'd just make everybody's pain go away.Drake Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360027308326166637noreply@blogger.com
