...there we stood in the doorway We heard the mission bell and we were thinking to ourselves "This could be heaven or this could be hell" Mirrors on the ceiling The pink champagne on ice. And she said: "We are all just prisoners here of our own device." (Eagles)

Crying Over Spilt Milk - How Does one Know?

Some of us have heard these sayings:
No use crying over spilt milk.
A stitch in time saves nine.
A rolling stone carries no moss.

The abstract interpretation of these statements do not come easy to some of us. They don't even pass the concrete interpretation of some of us.

Try it out on your friends.

See what happens when you ask someone who is cognitively challanged. Try to explain the abstract meaning to them, and then ask them again. See if they can explain it the same way you did.

Maybe we can come up with a question about suspensions.

Perhaps "a suspension a day keeps the kids away".


Hillsborough: Suspension without rules
