POSITIVE POINTERS
Parental Responsibility
What imitators are little
children! A small girl watched, with absorbing interest, everything
that was happening at mother�s card party. She observed how mother was
dressed; how she dealt the cards; how the women drank cocktails, and
how freely they smoked! Next day, the little girl gathered her
playmates together to "play party". She dressed herself in some of her
mother�s clothes. Slipping into her mother�s room, she got mother�s
package of cigarettes. Returning to her little playmates, she put a
cigarette in her mouth, struck a match, and, in lighting the
cigarette, she accidentally ignited the over-size dress she was
wearing. Instantly, she became a "human torch!" A few hours later, her
little charred body lay still in death. As she died, she gasped, "I
did like mother, and it killed me!"
