	Laughter the Best Medicine: Like many girls her age, my daughter, was mesmerized by the movie Titanic.When she came home crying after seeing the film for the first time, I asked her what what part she found so sad. "I'm not crying about the movie,'' she said in between sobs. "I'm crying because Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't even know I exist!" Our money-conscious 12 year-old went to the store to have her very first film developed. She was told the rate for a one-hour service and the cheaper charge if she collected the pictures in three day's time. *"What if I leave it with you for a month?"* she asked. My son was apprehensive about a long wait when we visited a hospital for tests. Looking around, he commented. *"Most waiting rooms have magazines, but this one has novels. Is that a bad sign?"* After teaching high school for nearly 20 years, I thought I'd heard every possible excuse for missing homework until one parent sent me this note *"Please excuse Ajay for not submitting her Algebra homework. The cat had kittens on it last night."* The parents of four young children, my husband and I often find our house looking like a war zone. I am therfore very impressed when friends who have children maintain a tidy home. We once vistied friends whose two kids were allowed to play with only one toy at a time. As we were leaving, I said, *"To look at their house, you'd never know kids even leave there."* *"Yes,"* agreed my husband. *"But to look at our house, you'd never know adults live there!"*
