We were taught that we need to share, don't hit people, put things back where you found them, clean up your own mess, don't take things that aren't yours without asking, say you are sorry when you hurt someone, wash your hands before you eat, flush the toilet, take a nap every afternoon, watch for traffic when you cross the street, hold hands and stick together. Goldfish and hamsters even the little seed you planted in a cup die, so do we. We learned the Golden Rule. We pledged allegiace to our flag. We knew we live in one nation under God. Dick and Jane taught us the all important word LOOK.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is better to hold hands and stick together.
Thank you Robert Fulghum for your great book: "All I ever really needed to know I learned in kindergarten."
