Would-be Game Changers
A lot of randomness takes place within the confines of my cranial cavity. So not surprisingly, one day a visual of an evil dictator sitting stoically behind a rather imposing desk sprang to my mind. I wondered “What do evil men do all day?” Did Joseph Stalin have a secret unicorn stamp collection? Did Kim Jong-il brunch with his mother?
And those thoughts led me to another: What factors might have somehow altered the lives of evil men in history? So I began a list…
- Coloring breaks
- A Beagle puppy
- Building a Galaxy Explorer Space Cruiser out of Legos
- Watching America’s Funniest Home Videos hosted by Tom Bergeron (Sorry Bob Saget. We can’t get past Full House.)
- Receiving candygrams on Valentines Day
- A free personal pan pizza from earning 5 stars on a Book-It Badge
- Quality time with monkey bars
- A friend like Teddy Ruxpin
- A piano tie
- A lollipop from the teller at the bank
- Coca-Cola
- A Winnie the Pooh nightlight
- An entire crate of silly putty
- Birthday Cake ice cream from Bruster’s
- Cassette tape of Bill Cosby’s stand-up routines
- Supervised access to sharp scissors and construction paper
- Removal of all products containing lead-based paint
- At least one birthday party at Chucky Cheese
- Less purple stuff and more Sunny D
- A funnel cake from the fair
What do you think is missing from the list? And please, no Jesus Jukes.
