Make sure you teach your children how to dial 911 in case of an emergency. Always leave a list of emergency numbers by the phone, as well as your street address written down. It's amazing how many people forget their addresses in an emergency! Or make it easy for your kids to call by getting a programmable phone so they only have to learn to punch in simple numbers. If you have babysitters, give them the list of emergency numbers and a number where you can always be reached. (Your home address and phone number written out prominently is good for sitters, too.)
All right, what's happening here ... you just place your cursor over (even near) a color
And the screen changes ... "Bright Green" has a cool effect ... my opinion.
And again, to bring it back to the original blue, cover "Sky Blue," or ... click Reload
But DON'T click any of the colors ... that's not necessary and will only take you off the page.

Well, here's a miscellaneous joke ... it does have something to do with children.
The boy returned to his contemplation, then turned back to his father ... "How do fish breath underwater?" Once again the father replied, "Don't rightly know, son."
A little later the boy asked his father ... "Why is the sky blue?" ... Again, the father replied ... "You got me there, son ... I don't rightly know ... but it's a good one."
Worried he was going to annoy his father, he says ... "Excuse me again, but Dad, does it bother you when I ask you all these questions?" ... "Of course not son ... if you don't ask questions ... you'll never learn anything."
