Why? Because at this point, my DonorsChoose Challenge entry has only raised $475 from 7 donors. A bunch of theorists are cleaning our clocks.

This makes SteelyKid grumpy. And we don’t want a grumpy baby.

To put things into perspective, this blog gets about 2,000 hits per day, so the challenge goal of $6,000 amounts to just $3 per daily hit. So, if something you read here gave you at least $3 worth of amusement, please click and contribute. If you do, we’ll have a happy SteelyKid:

And isn’t that better?

For a larger donation, you can claim one of the bigger incentives on offer, or just enter to win a cross-stitch from Kate (one virtual ticket for every $5 donated).

  1. I wasn’t aware of the non-SteelyKid-related incentives! I’m a sucker for cute baby pictures, so that was sufficient.

    But, since I *have* made a qualifying donation; do I need to do anything to claim my incentive?

  2. President Johnson’s “Great Society” mandated charity by law. Its receipt was declared a fundamental human right. That era has all but imploded. March or die.

  3. I’m always a sucker for the commanding stare of tots. We surely don’t want a grumpy baby.

    No other incentives needed for me, just the view of that commanding stare converted to a gleeful smile.

  4. But, since I *have* made a qualifying donation; do I need to do anything to claim my incentive?

    Just forward me the confirmation email from DonorsChoose, and let me know what you want.
