i know Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece was a sort of staple childhood thing -- like The Giving Tree -- that most people our age have encountered at least once before*. I hadn't seen it since i was probably about 9 or 10 but i just came across it now and i am blown away by how much information / wisdom is packed so elegantly in a three-minute

I never read that as a kid, but that's actually pretty awesome.

Awesome - (adj) I didn't know that a "children's" story like that would have so much relevance to really all people. If I was to ever reproduce, I would definitely want my kids to read that.

This made my day. It's really amazing how something so simplistic can be so enlightening. Really brings back childhood memories!
