lessons from turtles

 

my kids are seriously into turtles. not these...

 

                            but these!

both my daughter and my son love to watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. the other day when we were all watching TMNT for probably the third time in a row (sometimes you give in just to keep the peace, you know?), Raphael made a clone of himself.

hang with me here.

of course, things with the clone went wrong and the fake Raphael started terrorizing the city. Raphael was talking to the other turtles and said that Master Splinter had told him something bad would happen if he made the clone.

my comment to my husband: "the turtles could solve the majority of their problems if they would just listen to Master Splinter."

huh.

how many times has that been true in my life? the majority of my problems would be solved if i would just listen to the Master.

who would have thought, a lesson from the turtles!
