Tonight’s dinner
conversation:
Youngest
Daughter said, with excitement, “In band class today we watched a leadership
video. I learned that if you quickly
clasp your hands together with your fingers interlocked, then if you’ve got the
left thumb on top then you are right-brained, and you are a good kisser, but
if...”
Me: You’re a good what?
YD: A good kisser. But if the right thumb is on top then you are
left-brained, and a good thinker.
Husband: Where did you learn
that?
YD: I learned it from the guy in the leadership
movie we watched in music class. The
guy’s name was Tim.
Me: Why were you watching a
movie in music class?
Son: Tim?!
“There are some who call me Tim.”
(Husband and Son imagine
Monty Python’s Tim the Enchanter starring in a leadership video. Teaching people to clasp their hands
together.)
Me: Wait a minute. What you’re saying is that if you are a good
kisser then you’re not a thinker? And if
you are a good thinker then you’re a terrible kisser?
Husband: Why does the left thumb on top mean you are
right-brained?
YD: Because the right side of the brain governs
the left side of the body.
Husband: Which side do you use to talk with?
YD: Well, what side of your mouth are you using?
Husband: I speak out of both sides of my mouth.
I’m glad my daughter
learned some good lessons about leadership from this video. By Tim.
In music class.
No wonder the
election is going the way it is.

A very funny conversation (especially your husband!) but what I really want to know is how this hand-clasping stuff has anything to do with leadership?! If this is what they teach in school about leadership, the US is in even worse shape than I thought.
Ah, great stuff. I bet it's on the test later, too. (cracks up--no child left behind--they'll all know if they kiss good or not)
So I tried this hand clasping thing and eneded making a fist, there is Leadership for you ,rule with an iron fist .
Can't believe the drivel that they are teaching !!!Yes it is me again.
Awesome. Why didn't I ever get great lessons like that in music class? And by the way, props on raising your children so well that they can so easily apply Monty Python to daily life. It gives me hope for the future.
