Never Take Matches From a Stranger

Yesterday morning while getting boys ready for school I was listening to our local morning radio show.

Something caught my interest and I decided to share it with you.

There was an incident at one of Starbucks's in the city close to us.Nothing happened and everyone is safe otherwise I would not make fun of it I assure you.

Apparently a clean cut male in red winter jacket was trying to lure a child to follow him to a street corner with MATCHES.  The child resisted and ran back to it's mother who reported the incident.

Yes, you read it correctly.....MATCHES. I don't know if it's the recession or the bad economy, but apparently perverts and pedophiles switched from ever so popular CANDY to Matches.

I don't know what this particular psycho was thinking, but he totally messed up the "Never Take Candy From a Stranger" thing. From now on we have to add....and MATCHES....

It's almost like a scene from "Dumb Criminals".

After this little announcement the radio station asked it's listeners to call in answers to this question:


"Should We Forgive Tiger Woods"?

Apparently Tiger Woods after months of seclusion decided to make a statement about what has been going on with his life and with inability to keep his little **** in his pants.

I though to myself. Why should I forgive him? I don't really care. He didn't do anything to me.I feel terrible for his poor wife and his kids, but it has nothing to do with me.

Then my curiosity got the better of me and I listened to Tiger Woods's Apology. It was mostly about being sorry for his selfish behaviour and for hurting his wife and kids.He talked about always being a private man and he asked the media and tabloids to leave his family alone. He realized that he cost the loss of  their privacy with his affairs and bad behaviour and he brought all this on himself.

I though it was nice of him to ask, but does he really think that the tabloids and the paparazzi will leave his wife and kids alone? The damage has been done and those vultures can smell blood money. Unfortunately, this is the society we are living in. Tiger didn't realized how good he had it being rich and famous while managing to shield his family from the public eye.No money can buy the privacy he used to have.

                                           "I Was Unfaithful...I had Affairs... I Cheated" - Tiger Wood


You screwed that up, boy when you decided to parade your other brain around town.

In his apology Tiger made sure that he cleared his wife's name from being accused of hitting him and hurting him after finding out about his affairs.

Well, consider yourself lucky. Many other women would break your clubs on your back and you'll be pooping golf balls for weeks to come. Then they would take everything you have and make your life a living hell. The fact that she's still with you and you are able to see your kids is a miracle.You should thank God everyday for that.

Anyway, back to his apology.

One thing he said really got me: "I though I can get away with whatever I wanted to.I felt that I worked hard my entire life and I deserve to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled.I was wrong. I was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules.The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me."

Really, Tiger.....you felt ENTITLED to disrespect your wife, to break your marriage vows, to hurt your children? You felt entitled to let down all the young kids that looked up to you as a role model?

BTW, my son was one of them.

Tiger did apologize to the young kids and their parents for letting them down. So I guess the question is:

"Do I forgive Tiger Woods for letting my child down?".......I AM THINKING........maybe a set of new golf clubs will speed up my decision.

What do you think? Should I forgive him?
