And then she casually wipes the dirt off her hands and walks away while others rush to pick him up!
What will she be when she grows up?

American Census: 1940 vs 2010
The National Archives just released 1940 census data in its entirety. Someone made it easy to look at with pictures, compared with 2010.
Some of the findings? The earning gap is closing between men and women. America is less white (though still predominately white) today. People are waiting longer to marry, many past the age of 34.

Leave The World Just A Little Better Than You Found It
From Reader's Digest:
"Grandpa was a man of integrity. He was a rancher who loved his family fiercely and passed down simple yet important life lessons. My dad tells a story about helping his dad tediously was borrowed farm equipment before they returned it to a neighbor. 'Why ar we cleaning this?' he asked. 'It was dirty when we got it. Always return something a little better than you found it,' was Grandpa's reply. A week after Grandpa's funeral, I helped my dad vacuum, wash and refuel a car he had borrowed from a friend. After accepting the vehicle, the friend leaned over to me and remarked, 'Whenever I loan something to your dad, I know it will come back in even better shape.' And that is my grandpa's legacy. He left the world just a little better than he found it. I hope I can do the same." - Katharine Hanschu
