Kardelen is eaten by a horse!

Just kidding.

The government stole my ipod

According to the US government, my family is in poverty. We make less than the poverty limit for a family of four. I think our breakfast this morning would prove otherwise.

We had oatmeal for breakfast. Everyone in the family eats it a little differently. The youngest likes cinnamon sugar and butter. The oldest likes peanut butter, cinnamon sugar, and brown sugar in hers. Mom likes walnuts and chokecherry syrup. I had peanut butter and brown sugar. Picture a table with all that food on it. Does that sound like a table in an impoverished household

My point? If this is poverty, I think the rest of the world would like to be impoverished the way we are in America. The World Bank figures that 1.4 billion people worldwide live on $1.25 or less a day. Based on taxes last year, we were nearly 40 times that limit.

I think that we are blessed.

Here is a random video.
