Everything I Need to Know....

While taking a class last night I was teasing with a new friend that we never knew in Kindergarten how well we would always use our skills... cutting, pasting, tracing, trying to tie a knot (notice I said TRYING to tie). It is true, in more things that relate to our lives besides Scrapbooking.

Everything I need to know in Life, I learned in Kindergarten!

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't your own.
Say you are sorry when you hurt someone.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon. (my personal favorite lesson)
When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Wonder. Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and and white mice and even the little seed in the styrofoam cup - they all die. So do we.
And remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Everything we need to know is in there somewhere.
