Mood Rings

As a parent, I now understand that all parents make mistakes when turning carnivorous antisocial pygmies into well adjusted adults. Looking back at my childhood, my mother made a serious mistake one day. She gave three color-blind children mood rings. For those of you too young to remember mood rings, they were supposed to change color based on your mood. Very popular in the 70's, much like polyester and disco. Imagine three young boys running through the house asking the same question every 30 seconds - "Mom, what color is it now?" We didn' have hose rings for long before they disappeared.
