ODD RITUAL REDUCES ODDS OF CONCEIVING BRATTY KIDS

WINCHESTER, Va. (Wireless Flash) -- Can a 15-minute daily ritual minimize the odds of a woman giving birth to a bratty kid? It sounds inconceivable, but a parenting expert claims a simple technique can greatly reduce the chances of giving birth to a Bart Simpson. According to Mary Mayhew, would-be parents should sit facing each other with the man's back pointing north. You then hold hands for 15 minutes and repeat the ritual every day for a month. Each day you shift your sitting position 12 degrees until you've come full circle. Then, for another month, you spend 15 minutes each day with your backs to each other and mentally ask for an "evolved soul" to become your child. Mayhew is the author of the new book, "Your Star Child" (Sunstar).
