If You Give A Boy A Sister
The Odyssey Online

If you give a boy a sister, he probably won't like it at first.

and chances are when he sees her for the first time in your mother's arms, he might wish that she was a boy instead.

He may think about all the things he would be able to do with his sibling if she were a boy.

When he sees her cry for the first time, he might ask to hold her.

Then while he holds her in his arms, he will probably make a promise to himself to love her anyways.

When he promises to himself to love her always, he realizes that he might have to protect her.

So he might ask his mother if he can go wherever she goes.

He will lay beside her as she sleeps.

He will be there when she cries,

He will be there when she wakes up.

He will be there as she grows.

As he gets older, he realizes that she can be a little bit annoying.

She may pick fights with him, or play the blame game.

He may think for just a moment that he hates her, but he knows in his heart that is a lie.

When she annoys him, he may just start a play wresting match.

He probably would be able to win every time, but he lets her win anyways.

She may gloat a little too much afterwards, that he'll get frustrated .

So he may rain on her parade and say that he let her win.

It would probably make her cry, and he would feel bad.

So he will probably give her a hug, and apologize.

When he apologizes, he will probably promise to himself to never make her cry again.

He doesn't like it when tears flow down her cheeks.

So when her heart gets broken for the first time, he will be there.

He may think about tracking down the person who left her broken, but he realizes that she needs him more than ever.

When he realizes that she will always need him, he vows to be her best friend.


When you give a boy a sister, he may not like her at first...

but chances are, he'll love her anyway.


Inspired by the classic children's story If You Give A Mouse A Cookie by Laura Joffe Numeroff.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
