Do your kids play “Dumb Ways to Die”? It sounds harsh, but it was actually created to prevent train/pedestrian accidents.
Todd talks about the science behind spanking, and he shares more financial wisdom – this time about our national deficit. specifically an exercise showing the difference between a million, a billion, and a trillion. Best wishes for a wonderful 2015!
