Dear Dr. Sadie,
I've been watching the news lately, and it's got me worried and sad. The Arabs and Israelis are fighting. They are bombing neighborhoods, and the people who are getting hurt are just "regular folks," not the ones making the decisions to fight. What can they do to stop fighting?

Maybe they could get Tropeo (editor's note: Tropeo is a pirate in a children's song) to stop the fighting. He would say "hey you guys, you get out and go on my ship." If people like to fight each other, they should go on ships, so they can get money and gold and doubloons from the the rich people. This will take them away from the people who don't want to fight. If Tropeo saw one of those things, he would stop it. He would say "hey, who are you?" and he would bring them down to the dungeon.
People who fight all the time are like the Wicked Witch of the West or the East. They do bad things, but they're not bad people.
Maybe the people who want to fight should fight each other, and not the people who don't want to fight. They could fight, and Tropeo could throw them in the dungeon, where they could fight each other all day and all night. The rest of the people would be happy because the fighting would be done.

Winter Blues
Dear Dr. Sadie,
Winter is fast approaching, and it always makes me a little sad. Do you have any good winter recipes to chase the blues away?
- Brownie Groundhog
I like to eat cookies in the wintertime. I like gingerbread cookies the best. First you make the dough, then you add the other stuff. Then you add raisins for the nose and strawberries on its feet. Then you add fingers and fingernails with blueberries. Then you put buttons on with raisins. Then you use two chocolate chips for a tie. Then you bake it and then you eat it. Make sure you bake it at the perfect temperature.

Scout's Honor
Dear Dr. Sadie,
I am 8 years old, and all of my friends are joining the girl scouts. I want to join, too, but my Dad says, "no daughter of mine is going to join a proto-fascist, paramilitary organization that perpetuates homophobia and promotes mindless consumerism." I just don't want to be left out of a fun activity with great outfits. How can I convince him?
- Confused Wannabe Scout
You can wait to grow up a little bit. You can join them when you're 10 years old. You can tell your Daddy that you are willing to wait, but you want to do it when you are 10 years old. Then you can wear the fun outfit and go on fun hay rides.
