Hi everyone!!! I've been reading all of these great stories
so I've decided to submit my own. Yes, this is a very true
story.
This happened to me and my son when he was in pre-
school.Let me start off by telling you that my son has
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) so he cant pay attention
to anything more than five minutes at a time.
His teacher told me that it would be a good idea to hold
him back in pre-school for another year. That really
bothered me I didn't want my son to go through another year
of pre-school. So I decided to hold a little "conference" to
see why she felt this way. She told me that he cant sit
still long enough to learn the A-B-C's and he didn't even
know his own phone number.
So, I told her that I would talk to him (my son) to see if
thats what he wanted. He threw a total fit. When I told her
(his teacher) how he reacted she said to him "If you can
learn your own phone number by the next time you come to
school then you can go to kindergarten (he only went to
school three days a week so he had almost two full days to
learn it).
Well, I worked with him for a couple of hours
that night to memorize our number, when he finally had it
memorized he was so excited that he wanted to call his
teacher right there and then. I told him that he would have
to wait till the next day to tell her because I didn't know
her phone number and I didn't have a phone book at the
time. He just couldn't wait...
While I was in the shower, he yelled to me through the door
that he called his teacher and told her that he knows his
phone number and now he can go to kindergarten.? I said "oh
yea, whatever Dustin you don't even know her number".
Well, the next day when I was picking him up from school
his teacher was holding him by the hand. She told me "I got
a wonderful little call last night from Dustin." I told her
that I thought he was teasing me when he said that he
called her because we don't even know her number. We were
both dumbfounded. Maybe it was my dad that helped him dial
the number so he could go to kindergarten. For all I know he
could have dialed any number but how did he dial HERS?.
My son is now an "A" student in the sixth grade.
Thanks for reading my wonderful experience.

Hi everyone. This is a short but true story.
This experience happened to me while I was in the hospital
after giving birth to my daughter.
My baby was sleeping in
her little bed next to mine so I decided to get up and try
to go to the bathroom. I knew this was going to be a long
process because when you have a epidural (the medicine used
to deaden you from waist down) its kinda hard to "go" when
you cant even feel it.
Well anyways, my left leg was still quite numb so it took me
a few minutes to actually get to the bathroom. As I was
walking in the bathroom about to "sit on the john" I heard a
very loud but gentle voice in my head it said "Look at your
baby!" I thought I was going bonkers so I just sat
there listening to see if I could here it again and sure
enough I heard it again but a little louder (it was a mans
voice). So as fast as I possibly could, I jumped up to look
at my baby. She was so blue she was almost purple. I dont
know how I got to her so fast but I grabbed her and ran out
into the hall where all the nurses were and yelled "my baby's
not breathing!" they rushed over, grabbed her away from me
and ran her to the nursery where they had to get her
breathing again. They said that she was choking on mucas
that babies get. If I didn't hear that voice it probably
would have been too late to save my baby.
I look at her now (she'll be 9 this year) and thank my
lucky stars and most of all my INNER VOICE.
Thank you for reading my special story.
