text: what would you do??? what would you do in the situation where you just wrote a wonderful presentation which you are sure would give you recognition and give you much better pay and higher ranking in your office, but some 3 year old kid takes it, rips it up and eats part of it, disposing of the other half and sticking his/her tongue out at you? your reaction? i want honest answers, not fantasy ones, please. my friend left hers on a bench in the park and some random kid found it, she was finishing it and only put it down for a minute or 2, that was apparently enough for the little brat. what would you do? sorry to hear that happened to your friend's presentation. it does sort of sound like a variation of "the dog ate it," though, doesn't it?  there's really nothing your friend can do, except try to recreate what she'd done. sometimes, when situations like this creep into my life, i think of it as a personal challenge to test my patience with others and my resolve to meet my goal.  good luck to your friend.
