First, I love xkcd. It make me laugh or at least titter nervously. Sometimes, it makes me think, or further research an idea. So I was directed to Wikipedia's List of Common Misconceptions today which I wasted plenty of time, post haste, in reading. Some information I righteously felt smug about not disseminating and some things, I felt my embarrassment grow for passing the misconception to my children. Which brings me to the idea that, oh my gosh, I'm my kids' only teacher--if I get one thing wrong will they grow up and understand that it was a minor mistake and that I got a lot of things, right? I really had very little respect for my 4th grade teacher who apparently went to Idiots University (I learned as a 4th grader not to dis the terminally ill even if everything they teach you is completely false, it doesn't matter if they are wrong, and its easily disproven, they have [whisper]cancer[/whisper] therefore you must believe every single word).
Third (second was the bit about me destroying my kids faith in what I teach them), I'm tired of the cold. No one said the three things had to be related.
Beyond third, well, crud, I can't remember what my other comment on my life was. My gosh, I'm boring.
