Told You So!

By: Chrysa Smith Remember when you first learned that 'Girls Rule?' Kindergarten? While nursing?  Well, it's likely that at some point, you did. And maybe you felt that way because someone told you so--or you did something wonderful that made you believe that you, a girl, had to be superior.

By: Mary Fran Bontempo To hear an audio version of this post, click the play arrow below. I was hoping for a million dollars. One of the pleasures of eating Chinese food used to be the meal-ending fortune cookie.
