While working for an organization that dealt with the mentally and physically challenged, the individuals that we served and I built a number of lawn games. Our goal was to give them the opportunity to build these games from start to finish. One of the tasks was to cut 2x4s into 12" pieces. An individual, I'll call "Bob", was standing over the wood with the saw in his hand. As he slowly pulled the saw back and forth, he looked up at me and with a huge smile on his face quietly said "You know, Kim, we could do a heck of a lot more here with a chain saw." (He was a huge Halloween and Friday the 13th fan.) I looked at him, paused, and then laughed. Out loud.
Note To Self: Never forget how much you love them.
