really bugging me? Can you answer this riddle?Here is a pretty neat little
article from Paul Harvey . See if you can guess the riddle at
the end.Paul Harvey Writes: We tried so hard to make
things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my
grandchildren, I'd like better.I'd really like for
them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade
ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and may you
learn honesty by being cheated.I hope you learn to make your
own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car..And I really hope
nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen. It
will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born
and your olddog put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye
fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to
share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister.
Andit's all right if you have to draw a line down the
middle of the room,butwhen he wants to crawl under the
covers with you because he's scared, I hopeyou let him.
When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister
wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.I hope you
have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you
live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days
when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask
your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be
seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom. If you want
a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make
one instead of buying one.I hope you learn to dig in the dirt
and read books.When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtractin your head.I hope you get
teased by your friends when you have your first crush on
a boy/girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you
learn what ivorysoap tastes like.May you skin your knee
climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove andstick your
tongue on a frozen flagpole.I don't care if you try a
beer once, but I hope you don't like it.. And if a friend
offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not
your friend.I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with
your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.May you
feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.I hope
your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through
your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses
you at Hanukkah/Christmastime when you give her a plaster
mold of your hand.These things I wish for you - tough times
and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's
the only way to appreciate life.Written with a pen. Sealed
with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before you
do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you. We secure our friends, not by acceptingfavours, but by doing them..Paul Harvey RIDDLE:When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to17% of Stanford University seniors.
What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?
Please help me work it out! Thanks. I was thinking it could be friendship or something but then you couldn't exactly eat it so?
Omg guyss! I so get it now XD Thankyouu
