Instructions:

1. Each week, people post notes that share little lessons or observations from everyday life.
2. Others read these notes and then share their own stories.
3. Word spreads, stories are shared, and we all enjoy "the little things" that life has to offer.

Post a story!

Field Day

I am a teacher in a Juvenile Detention Center. The other day I was announcing that we would be having a 'field day' next week and I was reading the menu for that day which is a special menu from our normal 'jail food'. One kid said, "ah, man! I am being released two days before field day. Can I come back for a visit and hang out with you all?" I said, "No you can't just come visit." Another kid chimed in with all seriousness in his voice. "Okay, here's whatcha do. Go down to Dollar General and steal a toothbrush in plain sight of the manager. You will get arrested but don't worry it is only petit larceny and you won't be in here for long but you will be back in time for field day."

Lesson Learned: One man's jail cell is another man's castle.
