If everyone stopped for just one minute...

DVFlyer wrote: Random thought for today.

What would happen if everyone in the US (could be the world if you want to expand it that far) stopped doing anything for one solid minute?

No driving, no watching TV, no emailing, no phone calling, no talking, no walking etc... (ok, you can breath. ).

Just stopped doing anything for ..... one........ 60....... second......... time......... period.

We could make it a national holiday and call it "The day the earth stood still for 60 seconds" day.

kimberley replied: good luck trying to get my dd to sit still for 10 seconds, nevermind a full minute

TheOaf66 replied: then everyone would have a minute to spare

CantWait replied: I like that idea

Crystalina replied: That would be so great!!!

Could you imagine...peace and quiet for one solid minute.


I'd have to get out the duct-tape.

DVFlyer replied:
Funny you mention that... I noticed Chloe was extra antsie the other day. I said,"Hey, let's play the sit still game. Let's see if you can sit still for 10 seconds"

She lost...

luvmykids replied: I'd love it, in fact I do it quite often through out the day...it's called daydreaming

Kirstenmumof3 replied: That's cool, I like that idea.

A&A'smommy replied:
apparently telling them to cross their hands for a minute and sitting works also


ROFL what an awesome holiday

msoulz replied:
Ditto!! But I think it may go for more than a minute sometimes . . .

sc_mom2five replied: My first thought was that everyone just standing still doing NOTHING would be peaceful and beautiful to see. My second thought was about a movie I saw about 6 mths ago where the people were overcome by something, stood extremely still and then killed themselves when they moved. I can't remember the name of that movie but it really was strange.

The Happening?

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Denise your siggy's gonna make me have a seizure.



it's cute though...


We play the quiet game. Winner gets to stay up 15 extra minutes with mom and snuggle. Haha!!!!

Calimama replied:
LOL yeah it's time for a change, it gives me a headache when I'm on here in the dark.

sc_mom2five replied: Yea I think that was it... such a weird movie... it kind of freaked me out to think what if??

DVFlyer replied: Ya.... my idea is more of "stop to smell the roses" sort of thing than it is "Stop, walk backward and stab yourself" thing.

sc_mom2five replied: Yep... that was the peaceful happy thought listed first above ^! LOL

luvbug00 replied: lol forget the kids, i can't sit still that long!
