May 6, 1889: Exposition Universelle opened in Paris.

The recently completed Eiffel Tower was the entrance arch!

There is a lot of bad news in the world. Hopefully this will cheer you up.

A little longer watch but a very special day for the street dogs today. A little emotional myself I have to say

@klgdonaldson Keith, thanks for sharing your findings and passion with us along the way as you research. It's been a pleasure seeing the progress you've made. I won't soon forget the way you made it all come to life for our students at @JunoBeachCentre @vimyfoundation and so many other spots!

“Dear teenage boy at the skate park...

You're probably about 15 years-old, so I don't expect you to be very mature or for you to want a little girl on your skate ramp for that matter.

What you don't know is that my daughter has been wanting to skateboard for months. I actually had to convince her that skateboarding wasn't for just for boys.

So when we walked up to the skate park and saw that it was full of teenaged boys who were smoking and swearing, she immediately wanted to turn around and go home.

I secretly wanted to go too because I didn't want to have to put on my mom voice and exchange words with you.

I also didn't want my daughter to feel like she had to be scared of anyone, or that she wasn't entitled to that skate park just as much as you were.

So when she said, "Mom it's full of older boys," I calmly said, "So what, they don't own the skate park."

She proceeded to go down the ramp in spite of you and your friends flying past her and grinding rails beside her.

She only had two or three runs in before you approached her and said "Hey, excuse me.."

I immediately prepared to deliver my "She's allowed to use this park just as much as you guys" speech when I heard you say, "Your feet are wrong. Can I help you?"

You proceeded to spend almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to balance and steer, and she listened to you - a feat not attained by most adults.

You held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down and I even heard you tell her to stay away from the rails so that she wouldn't get hurt.

I want you to know that I am proud that you are part of my community, and I want to thank you for being kind to my daughter, even though your friends made fun of you for it.

She left the skate park with a sense of pride and with the confidence that she can do anything, because of you.”

So realistically, are we supposed to continue tweeting forever? What's the long-term plan here?

@risingaction Maybe some of that Hockey Canada sponsorship money that hasn't been spent lately...

[Tim Wiebe @MWiebe36]

@MmeKYoung Sad that your child doesn't like eagles.

#dadthought #437: When recruiting your children to help with concrete projects, maybe don't use the quick setting variety.

[Tim Wiebe @MWiebe36]

@MmeKYoung OK OK fair enough. Maybe I'm just a meaner parent. 😆

[Tim Wiebe @MWiebe36]

I don't understand this "share a milkshake" thing you mentioned...

[Katrina Young (she/her) @MmeKYoung]

Among the least enjoyable things in life: sharing a milkshake with a toddler when you only have one paper straw.

[Tim Wiebe @MWiebe36]

@MmeKYoung You need to be sneakier about it.
