I don't feel a need to explain, although I do feel a common bond with another woman who is Muslim.  She's the mom of a girl at my daughter's gymnastics class and we usually sit together and chat during the sessions.

Have you ever met a child you obeys without question? I've been around children constantly for nearly 30 years and haven't yet met one LOL What I do find wonderful about children is that they question constantly, but so openheartedly....they are willing and anxious to learn.

I don't know about hearts, but I do like the joke, "The left brain became the one to have....if you were having only one." We have until recently ignored the functions of the brain that go on below the level of verbal/conscious awareness but lately we have been finding out that they are very well suited to certain tasks (like puzzles). However, our left brain tries to dominate the process even when it is clearly not suited for the task, as split-brain experiments show. The right brain thinks visually and in symbols but with few words...the "nudge" to do things you can't explain often begins processing there.

Tell people your right brain is in charge on the matter and that your left brain has reviewed it and, while it doesn't quite understand the purpose, it can find no harm in it and has chosen to respect the right brain's greater authority in symbolic matters lol.
