“Pesky Details”

Leaving an ingredient out or putting the wrong ingredient in can make all the difference in the outcome of the dish.  Thousandths of a second is the difference in victory and second place.  We know details make all the difference.  Two third graders were discussing the details of romance, a tricky subject at best.  One third grader had narrowed it down to these essential ingredients and shared with his friend.  “If you are going to have a relationship with a girl,” he said, “you need to remember these four things.  1. Be a man.  2. Smell like a man.  3. Take care of your girl.  4. Never, ever tell her that she needs to lose weight.  Ernest Hemingway said, “Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.”  I believe it is safe to say if you do not abide by detail four I can tell you why you possibly died.
