Today is Monday December 18th, on today's show:

**I like to start the show with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE!  Today is a bit different.  I am going to tell you a couple of quotes and then get into my thoughts.

**Quote of the day:

Can you figure out which movie these quotes are from?

"There is no life I know to compare with PURE imagination."

"Invention, my dear friends, is 93% per-spir-ation, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple."

"The suspense is terrible.  I hope it will last."

"If you want to view paradise, simple look around and view it.  Anything you want to , do it.  Want to change the world?  There's nothing to it."

Willy Wonka!  I watched both yesterday and I still like the 1st the best.  It was movies like Willy Wonka that we would watch as kids and always learned how to be a better kid.

You see there were five tickets, five kids all with different character flaws, that we as kids NEVER wanted to be associated with.  There are so many lessons that can be learned (if you can get passed the old school movie making.)  Here they are:

-  Augustus Gloop is obviously gluttony.  He has no self-control, this character's insatiable appetite is matched only by his disregard for manner or personal hygiene. His single-minded obsession with food results in dangerous consequences when he greedily disregards Wonka's warnings inside the factory. His untimely exit from the tour, after being sucked into a chocolate river, serves as a potent reminder of the perils of unchecked indulgence.

**Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,

I've got a perfect puzzle for you.

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-dee,

If you are wise you'll listen to me.

What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?

Eating as much as an elephant eats.

What are you at getting terribly fat?

What do you think will come of that?

I don't like the look of it

Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,

If you're not greedy you will go far.

You will live in happiness too,

Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo.

Do-ba-dee-doo

-  Violet Beauregard -  pride

This character relentlessly strives to be the best at everything, often at the expense of her own well-being and relationships. Her compulsive gum-chewing habit and propensity to push boundaries manifest themselves during the factory tour when she brashly chews an experimental gum against Wonka's advice. Her unchecked ambition ultimately turns her into a giant blueberry, underscoring the dangers of excess and a relentless pursuit of success without considering the consequences.

**Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo,

I've got another puzzle for you.

Oompa Loompa, do-ba-da-dee,

If you are wise you'll listen to me.

Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while.

It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile.

But it's repulsive revolting and wrong.

Chewing and chewing all day long.

The way that a cow does

Oompa Loompa do-ba-dee-da,

Given good manners you will go far.

You will live in happiness too,

Like the oompa loompa do-ba-dee-doo.

-  Veruca Salt is greed.  She doesn't care how she gets what she wants as long as she gets it.  Her impatient and impulsive nature ultimately leads to her downfall as she defiantly disobeys Wonka's rules, culminating in a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked entitlement and desire.

**Oompa Loompa doompadee doo

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa Loompa doompadee dee

If you are wise you will listen to me

Who do you blame when your kid is a brat

Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat?

Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame

You know exactly who's to blame:

The mother and the father!

Oompa Loompa doompadee dah

If you're not spoiled then you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do

- Mike Teevee being a sloth

A character who represents the pitfalls of excessive television consumption and technological obsession, he is utterly disinterested in the world around him unless it involves screens. During the factory tour, his fixation on shrinking technology leads him to recklessly experiment with Wonka's inventions, sealing his fate when he shrinks himself down to size. His predicament offers a stark warning about the dangers of becoming consumed by technology to the detriment of meaningful human experiences.

**Oompa Loompa doompadee doo

I've got another puzzle for you

Oompa Loompa doompa dah dee

If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get from a glut of TV?

A pain in the neck and an IQ of three

Why don't you try simply reading a book?

Or could you just not bear to look?

You'll get no

You'll get no

You'll get no

You'll get no

You'll get no commercials

Oompa Loompa Doompadee Dah

If you're not greedy you will go far

You will live in happiness too

Like the Oompa

Oompa Loompa doompadee do (doompadee do)

-  Arthur Slugworth

Portrayed as the nefarious rival of Willy Wonka, this character lures children with the promise of riches in exchange for stealing one of Wonka's secret recipes. His treacherous nature and Machiavellian tactics serve as a foil to the whimsical, enigmatic Wonka, adding an element of intrigue and deception to the story. However, it is later revealed that he was an undercover employee of Wonka's all along, testing the children's integrity and loyalty through temptation.

Grandpa Joe

A lively and wise patriarch of the Bucket family, this character encourages Charlie's dreams and never hesitates to speak his mind. Despite his age and disability, he displays a youthful exuberance and spirit that ultimately serve as an indispensable moral compass throughout the factory tour. His unwavering faith in Charlie and ability to see through Wonka's eccentricities culminate in an invaluable life lesson for his young grandson.

-  And then there is Charlie Bucket:

A kind-hearted, honest, and humble protagonist who is the embodiment of pure innocence, this character cherishes the rare moments of happiness with his impoverished family. Despite their struggles, he never lets go of his dreams of adventure, eventually finding hope when he discovers a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The character's innate goodness and strong moral compass ultimately earn him the keys to the coveted chocolate factory, as he passes each of Wonka's tests, proving that genuine character triumphs over wealth and privilege.

Now we live in a world where most of the parenting isn't really there.  Our kids are taught from everywhere they go, that their life's should only be about them.  Me, me, me, I want it, I need it, I want a golden goose Daddy.  It is very sad. The pure innocence they were born with has withered away. Most have never grown up in impoverment or even know that their family struggles.  I knew growing up.  I was also taught to be kind, honest, humble and how to work hard for everything that I ever wanted.  Our kids and grandchildren need to be taught these traits.  And for those parents, who work tirelessly to teach their children right from wrong, how to behave and treat others, I applaud you.  Keep up the good, hard work.

You got this.  I believe in you.

**Joke of the day:

Why was the snowman looking through the carrots?

He was picking his nose!

What did the gingerbread man put on his bed?

A cookie sheet!
