1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you

"Most of us can remember glimpsing that something better, even if only rarely, so the question is whether we want it to be the rule or the exception for our children. "

Yeah, I got a random thing from the Bible. I thoght it was a little ironic that the book that happened to be sitting right next to me what the BIBLE. lol. Atleast it wasn't one of those verses that would really offend someone, especially out of context.

I am familiar with Alfie Kohn, but I surely don't understand the point of copying the 5th sentence from the nearest book's 123rd page. I'm a little slow, I guess. Is the point that Kohn's book was the one nearest you? Gee, the book nearest me was Webster's Dictionary. Yikes! (The phone book was close too.) So, where do those intsructions come from and what is the point? Feeling really dumb in Florida...

Hey, Pamela, you don't have trackback so I'm just going to give you the link to where I mentioned this post on my blog.

I wish I had been reading Alfie Kohn. My friend wrote me a funny email about the Biblical verse that came up when she did this: "And God spoke unto Moses, saying." Wow, she said, what were the chances of THAT!
