Battle of the Sexes- It came down to the tiebreaker this morning and the men won! The score is now 41-32 with the men in the lead.














Ticked Off-



What do you think about the kids on a leash? Every now and then you'll see one at the mall with mom and dad following closely behind. I totally get that you're trying to keep your child safe and you're doing it for good and not for bad. But I just can't get behind it 100%. Is it better than losing your child or having them run off and you have to chase them in a crowded store, sure. But a caller this morning said kids don't want to hold your hand and they don't want to ride in strollers. My feeling is I'm the parent and if I say to hold my hand for safety reasons, then no questions asked, hold my hand. If I need to put you in a stroller because it will be very crowded and not safe for my kids, then get in the stroller. And I know that kids wander and get excited and want to run off. But it's my job as a parent to watch them closely and if I feel like I might be distracted, then put them in the stroller, carry them, or hold their hand. It just seems a little strange putting your child on a leash. Again, not trying to offend anyone that does it, just my opinion.
