Aren't Angels Great?

You know, I'm not one to judge. I don't mind hearing people out when they tell me about their "Beliefs". Even though I'm a little set in my ways, I enjoy learning something new every once in awhile. But sometimes it fascinates me what people have been taught over the years. At this point in my life I feel that I've heard my share of crazy ideas about how we got here, where we're going, and how did they get that delicious white paste inside of the Twinkie. But today in clinic, I heard a new little ditty I thought I would pass on to you. It goes a little like this:

Before we're born Angels come to visit us in the womb and teach us EVERYTHING we ever need to know. All the important stuff about how to act, pray, make good decisions, etc. But when we're born, obviously we don't appear to have all this information available (I mean babies can't even make it to the bathroom or say their own name...slackers). Sooo, something has to happen. Something magical. Well after we've been taught all we need to know, those ingenious Angels devised a method to cloud these memories allowing us when we're older to have those "Ah Ha" moments (or as the lay people like to say, an "Epiphany"). So, right before we're born those angels nestle up nice and close to us and SLAP US ACROSS THE FACE and then touch our upper lip leaving us with what we now know as a philtrum.

Hmmmm. You know. Once it's down on paper, it doesn't sound so far-fetched. Why don't you go ahead and disregard what I said to start. I think all of us can learn a little something from this. Angels are Awesome! I can't wait to meet one again. I just hope their not as violent in person.
