shove over, condoleezza

i may have a solution to the world's diplomatic snarls:  preschool teachers.

preschool teachers are masters at saying things in the sweetest, most cushioned way possible. they can make a compliment out of virtually anything.

here's what it said on the report i got last week at thing one's preschool conference:

"josie is a happy, well-liked little girl developing good self-esteem."

wait for it...

"quiet in a positive way – always gets her needs met."

hmm...

"can be a leader as well as a follower."

here it comes....

"likes to take on the 'mom' role at times."

is that not the nicest way of saying "bossy little shit" you've ever heard? think of what this women could do in the world's hot spots.
