Love the thread, Cats.
Miss the times.
I have a boys club at work and once a month
we do activities based on the "Dangerous Book for Boys".
It's my Dangerous Boys Club.
To recruit I simply ask them their age and then ask if they're
dangerous. I get smiles, confused looks, giggles, shrugging shoulders.
Well, a few months ago at one of our meetings, I was teaching them
Morse Code. On the paper I had put in code...
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails,
that's what little boys are made of.
And ya know, not one of those poor kids had ever heard that saying.
I was shocked. So I now add a little saying or trinket of wisdom from
when I was a child. It's so sad that parents don't bother to teach
their children things they heard or learned as a child. Just sad.
There's even a book out now called, "Humpty who?"
It has loads of things that every child should grow up knowing.
I mean, dang! it's part of being American to know that Jill pushed Jack
down that blasted hill because he was forcing her to carry that water. lol
Cats, thanks for the reminder of good times shared and memories that
can live forever.
Hugs,
Linda
