Popularity on our fridge

Recently I put this headline on our fridge.
(The magnet that holds it, a periodic table, is new also, and arrived via my chemist husband.)

Jack, I was delighted to notice, gasped in delight and said "Yes! That is so true!"

After reading Soule Mama's recent post about her 12 year old son, I felt even more pleased about that. It's a good motto for all of us, but especially teenagers who would be so much happier if only they didn't have to spend so much energy being like everyone else!

Jack is only nine, but I think it's good to start early.

{I'll be away from this space for a week or so now, back at the start of February.}
