It's not fair!"<BR><BR> Linus walks up and says, "You're not using the right strategy." Lucy replies, "What?"<BR><BR> Linus says, "The more you fuss the worse off you'll be . . . Why not admit it was all your own fault?"<BR><BR> Linus says, "Why not go up to mom and say to her, 'I'm sorry dear mother . . . I admit I've been bad, and you were right to cancel my party . . . From now on, I shall try to be good.'"<BR><BR> Linus says, "That's much better than ranting and raving . . . All that does is prove her point."<BR><BR> Lucy says, "'I'm sorry, dear mother, I admit I've been bad, and you were right to cancel my party . . . From now on, I shall try to be good!'"<BR><BR> Lucy walks off.<BR><BR> Lucy throws back her head and wails, "I'd rather die!"<BR><BR>
