Name pick for child.

I was trying to help my child to understand how important the name that parent pick for their child, and using the name that Tang emperor picked for his daughter "Gou-Yung", which is same as the name that unique Empress Wu Draio (Wu,Tsui-Tien) the only one female ruler with her own dynasty in Chinese history, means high rising sun shining in the high sky and its light brightening every corner of the land.

After listening to my expressive description, my teen aged daughter complain for the complication of the name and asked for a simple name picking story while my hand gesture swing in the air in showing the Sun shining over the China.

As my understood of the Chinese history might be too long and too sophisticated for an American born kid like my daughter, so I immediately recalled in my memory and catch one brightest example then share with her right away, "some parents named their children by number and the number can be going on as many as the number of child they could have."

God, Please help me!


I used to teach in the Sunday school at church, and found a small little tiny book for preschooler to read book named: "God, please help me!"

Inside the book, each page contain color pictures with short statement started with the sentence, "God, please help me!"

Each pages are with the preschooler's prayer like this:
"God, please help me, for I can not share my toys with my younger brother."
"God, please help me, I do not want Lisa eat my cookie."
"God, please help me, I do not want to go to bed."
.
.
Today, I read an introductory message listed by a radio station's advertisement...they pay for gossip.....

"God, please help us, for Gossip can get paid today in our lives." Haaaaaaa.....
