1) 19 Exceptional Harvard Students. Because apparently going to Harvard (which last I heard had an acceptance rate of 5.9%) isn’t exceptional enough.
It’s not what you think; nowhere is there a mention of actual grades. These kids overcome homelessness, poverty, cancer and family tragedy to go there. Kind of What, Like It’s Hard? after everything else they’ve been through.
David Boon overcame homelessness in a violent Cleveland neighborhood where gangs burned down his home for refusing to join them
So did she, abandoned by her parents and homeless in High School

2) Ditto the Cambridge 16.
She overcame her brother’s suicide to start a national mental health organization

3) This what that college education is really for: 29 Life Lessons you learn from traveling the world for the next 8 years
Gets really hard to have too much STUFF if you’re only in one place for 3 months at a time…
(In case it wasn’t obvi – I’m KIDDING)

4) Anyway you don’t even need to be at Harvard to be this funny…
Next stop Harvard? (She spelled “assassins” correctly!)
Kids can be so cool

5) Sometimes, you can do it without even trying… 19 Unintentionally Disturbing Things In Kiddie Books. (Caveat: some are not for kids and are quite cringeworthy)
I liked dis one though (“Get” = “goat” and “killing” = “kid”….. IN SWEDISH)

6) And sometimes…. sometimes…. Don’t you just hate grownups and their annoying web pages titled things like 34 Hilarious Photos of Kids Losing It Over NOTHING
Dis my personal favorite.
Tho Dis Rockstar’s.
Q: Which item made you smile the most? Was it Harvard or the Meltdown Toddlers?
A: Yup, me too.
(We can all be inspired to new heights, but wow Meltdown Toddlers make us smile)… Thought for the week…..

7) So for a change JD has the skit titled Come On, You Can’t Expect Us Not To Have A Little Fun Along The Way…..:
This our pet (pic from brian.hoover.net.au)
(OK fine, this our pet)
(It doesn’t fit very well yet, will take some work)
(No, it’s not your imagination re her facial expression – she gets that same look after baths – like she’s been violated.)
Miss had a very thought provoking question to round it off: Where JD Ears?
And so you know what’s keeping us busy this weekend… (maybe even what the Rockstars’ll be this Halloween) 😉
Have a good one
Have a good weekend!
Hahaha, who put that on JD? She must be thinking, oh common, it is not even Halloween yet.
She erm, had to do a few fittings 😀 Out of necessity, of course. (Really, that dog is another serious one with too little sense of humor humph) I order these things off season, way in advance and with the cheapest shipping so they take the scenic route to arrive here often 🙂
