Show Gateway to Happiness whats so great You know about little kids? Little things make them happy. Meagan -who spends half of her time giggling anyway - turned six years old a couple of weeks ago and all she got was a little pink Minnie Mouse watch and a homemade birthday cake and she was happy. About this same time her teenage brother, Benjamin, was giving us advance warning that for Christmas he wants an upgrade for his computer, a new CD player, and y radios. But its set of okay if we save the CD player for his birthday, he thoughtfully adds, because he knows that all together it probably costs more than we can afford for Christmas. Actually, all together it costs two-wa- more than we can afford for the whole family for Christmas, but he has friends who will be getting the equivalent, and he thinks he should too. Dr. Laura would probably be on his side. Part of me imagines what she would say. Hey, its not his fault hes the middle kid in a family of 18, you did that to him. Treat him like hes an only kid thats the least he deserves, being stuck where he is. The other part of me argues - with Dr. Laura: didnt put him here, God put him here, I was just on the receiving end. And since God loves Benjamin, and knows what it is he needs to succeed in life, it obviously isnt a computer upgrade, a set of two-wa- y radios and a CD in one year, or he player all wouldnt have been sent to us. mer and all he got was a card with a $20 bill inside. I invited Andrew Jackson to come to your party, I warned him as he opened it. What about Ulysses S. Grant? he asked hopefully. Couldnt make it, I apologized. Then how about Ben Franklin? Jackson is the only one who could come, I reaffirmed, the rest are double billed. Why dont you forget about the presidents, Robert chimed in, and just invite Bill Gates? I wonder if Bill Gates is a middle child? Maybe we should consider that computer upgrade, after all. nine-year-o- ld THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, November 17, 1999 - Page State declares that November is American Indian History Month For the first time, the state of Utah will officially designate the month of November as a time to recognize the contributions of the states American Indian citizens.
