Wonders of the World

[candyrel]

THE 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLDA group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help. " The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:
1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear She hesitated a little, and then added ...
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous.

I thought you would like this

I think the eighth wonder of the world is getting a babysitter for a diebetic child.

Donnasmum,

You haven't lost your sense of humour ! I loved your comment about your ex who went to the shops and "forgot" to come back too.

 

[donnamum]

If only it was a warped sense of humor and not reality.

At least it makes someone smile.

Hope you and your son are well.
