My kids are asked: what happened outside in the yard this morning? Can you believe what he said? The little things dominate your time, which leads to maximum distraction.

"in india . . it was used as an offering in religious and magical ceremonies" "the first written record of sugar" "long before the first pyramids were built in egypt" "gods gave fire to human beings" "a priest could turn them into smoke and send them on to the gods"
