Here’s that enlightening Marilyn story. “Years ago, when I was pretty young,”
\nJ-R says, “we had a Marilyn Monroe type in our town — not that I’m saying
\nthat Marilyn Monroe was bad. One day the lady was walking down the street
\nas my mother and father and I were in the car. I looked at her I said, ‘Are her
\nankles broken?’ My dad said, ‘No son, she’s just got a swing.’ My mother
\nsaid, ‘And you stay out of it or you’ll fall out and break your neck.’ ”<\/p>\n
J-R continues, “I was completely naive on some levels and I didn’t know the
\nlady was advertising. But my mother spoke the ultimate truth, ‘Stay out of it;
\nyou can’t handle it.’ I’ve since extrapolated that statement to other situations
\nin life. It is the ability to recognize the things you’re dealing with, what you’re
\nworking with, and then the wit to say, ‘I’d like it but I can’t afford it.’ ”<\/p>\n
God Bless You!<\/p>\n
