i did my part. well, at least i tried to improve family life in the greater portland area for 2011. i gave every art class a charge. because, as we all know, kids can't wait to get to christmas vacation. until, that is, tragedy strikes. about 6 days, if parents are so lucky, into break three little words follow kids around like wet socks, "mom, i'm bored." their friends are out of town, nothing left to do but video games. oh no, my friends, this will never do. if, i told all 320 of them, you find yourself tempted to utter such unspeakable horror, please stop yourself. (you know your parents will only give you more chores afterall.) no, instead go outside, read a book. don't just sit there, MAKE SOMETHING! and again on their way out the door just to make sure, "make more art, happy holidays, make more art...did i mention to make more art, see you next year, don't get you-know-what!?" i refuse to get bored, there's just too much life to be had. cook, dance, paint, write, read, ski, make a movie, design a tshirt, take skating lessons...do your part, don't make someone else responsible for your happiness and entertainment. no boredom allowed, ever! what are some ways that you eradicate boredom in your home?
