Which Neighbors?

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I live in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful homes and tree-lined streets. It's ideal, except for one thing - there are no kids for my two sons (ages 6 and 10) to play with. Thankfully, a family moved in down the street with two sons (also ages 6 and 10). We were very happy with the situation. Our kids get along really well, and everything seemed fine. Then we found out that the parents are practicing witches.

We are devout Christians. We're not sure what to make of the situation. Our church preaches that these people are doomed, and that we should shun them. They are lovely people though, and we're not sure what to do. Any advice?

- Love Thy Neighbor?

You should cast some spells on the witches. You could turn them into juice - apple juice. Then you could drink them. Their kids could also drink the apple juice.

Another thing you could do is blast the witches off to space. They would take their kids with them. Then your sons would be lonely again.

Dressing only in blue

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I am having a little problem with my three year old daughter. It's getting colder out, and she still wants to wear her summer clothes. It's starting to get very cold out where we live, and I can't let her out of the house in short sleeve dresses. When I try to get her to wear warmer clothes or layer up, she throws a giant fit. What should I do?

- Papa Icicle

You should buy fancier clothes and things that are warm with no sleeves, like princess robes. Darling Angels will give her short sleeve dresses when it gets warmer out.

You should make your daughter get into warmer clothes by helping her get into the clothes.

School Blues

Dear Dr. Sadie,

I just started at a new school, and I don't like it. Every morning I wake up and I don't want to go to school. Once I get there, I have a good time, but I am filled with anxiety before I go. What should I do?

- On the road to illiteracy

You should probably go to another school. Maybe you should go to middle school. A middle school is what big kids go to. When you go to middle school you have to be brave. Middle school is lots of fun. Everyone plays and has fun. You go to recess and have snack afterwards. That sounds like a good school to me.
