Sad Stories

Everyday at breakfast we always have a million Arkansas Democrat Gazettes laying around in the dining room and I'm ALWAYS the nerd eating my cereal and browsing through the paper. My favorite part of the paper is the column on the left of the front page with all of the random little stories. They are very interesting usually and very random. Sometimes they are humurous and youre just left wondering...."what were those people thinking?!"...but other times the stories are sad. One I read recently was about a 24 year old man being sentenced to prison after his 18month old and I believe 2 year old girls died after walking to a neighbors house in 24 degrees below zero weather while they were in their diapers. That is terrible! Another story was about a little boy who was shot while trick or treating by some redneck man who thought he was being robbed! There are so many outrageous things and its actually extremely sad to know that these situations are bad but there are other things in other countries that are so much worse and dangerous. And although Im addicted to reading that part in the paper...i have to balance it out by reading gossip magazines like US Weekly and People. Those are always interesting and light hearted....most of the time.
