Our Cells Are Little Fireplaces

A story about cell respiration for your kids. Our cells respire. They breathe in and they breathe out. They take in a gas called Oxygen and they give out a gas called Carbon Dioxide.

How can it be that the people we love most drive us most crazy at times? Dr. Harville Hendrix claims that our life partner usually has at least one personality trait that has bothered us or still bothers us in one of our parents as well (Getting the Love You Want, 1988).
