  It's Lisa Barr -- I thought I would pass this comment on ... it came directly to me from a woman born in Canada, who moved to Israel, and has two young kids: "Your advice is spot-on. I’m raising two kids in Israel. I can’t and don’t hide the news from them, as they do eventually find out, and it’s best that they hear it from their parents, whom they trust the most. Everyone has to do their part to prepare and protect our precious children. Our school has drills for terrorist attacks, for earthquakes, for missile attacks, they sent experts to explain things to the children and answer questions. While it’s disturbing to think that our innocent children have to hear such things and while it’s insane to think that all schools should have guards at the entrance and that maybe teachers do have to keep doors locked and have guns, this is sadly the world that we live in now. Thank you for such a timely and well-written article. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families whose lives have been destroyed by this senseless tragedy." - L.K.

  I'm not sure how you got a hold of my email/photo etc. But the comment above is not me. (not to mention all the typos) - Lisa Barr

  @Mike -- I just had to jump in here ... because I ask myself that very same question every time Walter rips on me! My blogs are on parenting/relationships/marriage/divorce/teens, etc -- lifestyle issues NOT life or death scenarios. I try to address those issues/problems that parents face here in suburbia. Anyway, just a shout-out, Mike -- Thank You! -- Lisa Barr

  Hi -- this is Lisa Barr -- writer of this blog. Please note that this was meant to be humorous -- a tongue-in-cheek blog. The seriousness of being left out is extremely painful on any front for a child of any age. As a Mom of three teenage girls -- I experience girl drama on a daily basis. And truthfully, nothing hurts our kids more than peer rejection, or as one reader described -- not being asked to a dance. These are subjects that I tackle on my blog GIRLilla Warfare: A Mom's Guide to Surviving the Suburban Jungle (www.girlillawarfare.com) with the sensitivity it deserves. I truly appreciate your comments -- but please note that while it was all true -- it was meant to be a lighter-side-of-life look at homecoming/prepping in terms of the contrast of being a Girl Mom versus a Boy Mom. All the best, Lisa
