Dear Abby Picking sides hurts the last

DEAR ABBY: My heart ached for the little boy whose teacher appointed two captains to choose up teams, and he was always chosen last. I’m 67 now, and when I read that letter, all the feelings of humiliation, anger and anxiety came flooding back like it was yesterday. I was always one of the last to be chosen for sports because I was small and poorly coordinated. I wanted to die when teams were chosen because when it got down to the last two kids, I was always one of them. Once I sneaked out of the room and went to the restroom and cried. Another time I forced myself to throw up so I could go to the nurse’s room to escape this cruelty. I’m amazed that this humiliating system of choosing teams is still going on. I hope teachers everywhere will see this and realize how damaging it is to a child’s selfesteem, and put an end to that brutal practice. CHOSEN LAST DEAR CHOSEN: I hope so, too. I heard from teachers everywhere who offered unique (and face-saving) ways to choose up teams. Here’s a letter from a retired school teacher who had the right idea years ago: DEAR ABBY: Re choosing up teams: I taught school from 1914 through 1963. My method: The last one chosen becomes captain of the next team. No one was ever last more than once. MURIEL LINK, AGE 90, SPRINGFIELD. VT.

DEAR ABBY: This is the first time I’ve written to you. I don’t know where else to turn. Our daughter, who has just turned 18, has informed me that she and her boyfriend are planning to go camping together with friends this summer. I’m not naive, and I don’t for one moment believe that they will be sleeping in separate tents. My problem is this: Do we, as parents, have a right to forbid her to go? We are still supporting her and are paying for her schooling. NOT NAIVE DEAR NOT NAIVE: You have every right to forbid her to go since you are supporting her, and she is living under your guardianship. However, if you suspect that your daughter is already sexually active or is about to be I hope you have discussed with her the importance of “safe sex” in order to protect herself from an unwanted pregnancy and/or venereal disease. If you have not, you must. Let her know that you are not condoning premarital sex, but as a responsible parent you do not want her to risk her future, her health, and possibly her life because of carelessness or ignorance. CONFIDENTIAL TO RUSS IN MAUI: It’s not always better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. It depends on what you’ve lost.

Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: Here are some hints I have for those of us who have been blessed with children. I had planned on using disposable diapers when my son was bom but I also bought some cloth diapers and diaper pins. That way if I ran out of disposable diapers I would have something to diaper the baby with until I could go to the store. As Baby got older, one disposable diaper wouldn’t keep him dry through the night. So, I’d take one or two cloth diapers (depending on Baby), fold in thirds and line inside of disposable diaper. For boys do same, but with second cloth diaper fold in thirds then in half, and cover the problem area. After the diapers are secured cover with rubber pants. This will keep the baby, sheets and blankets dry through the night. This has really helped me through the hard part. Darolynn Aird

I’m sure your hint will help others. We all know that having that first baby is hard and new mothers need all the help they can get. Thanks for writing. Heloise CLOTHESPIN HANGER Dear Heloise: After I take the clothes out of the washer and I am bound for the clothesline I can never find enough clothespins. I got a strip of material about 8 inches long. I pinned all of the clothespins on this and hung this strip right next to the washer. Now I can find them easily. Saves me all the rummaging around. Great storing idea! Tommy Overbeck CORKSCREW Dear Heloise: I use a corkscrew to pierce the “eye” of a coconut when I want to drain the liquid. This works really well for me, as we love fresh coconut in our home. Linda Honay
