Stu attempts to abduct a rural farmer named Ernie. Stu, being an overconfident teen, hilariously messes up the entire abduction, amazingly not waking up Ernie.…

years old, I was awestruck by the universe on the big movie screen. Star Wars had me hooked; I NEEDED a telescope so I could learn about what lies beyond the sky I see at night. My parents bought the telescope I yearned for and helped me look at the moon on clear nights. Together we watched shuttle launches on television and read about expeditions online. A few years later, they took me to see a shuttle launch at Cape Canaveral. We arrived just before launch because the visitor’s center was…

My first reason, is Charlie shot Pete Van Horn but…

The following test is egocentrism. This test was first performed by Jean Piaget in which he placed to scenes on either side of a mountain. You then ask the child what they see on their side of the mountain then ask them to look at the other side. They go back and you ask what is on the other side.

Luckily, both of my children were able…
