Kindergarten

I know that you have all probably read this book: "All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten.", but it is good to look back and remember the good ol' simple days of life.

1. Share everything.
2. Play fair.
3. Put things back where you found them.
4. Clean up your own mess.
5. Don't take things that aren't yours.
6. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
7. Wash your hands before you eat.
8. Flush.
9. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
10. Live a balanced life--learn some more and think some and draw and paint and
sing and dance and play and work every day some.
11. Take a nap every afternoon.
12. When you go out into the world, watch our for traffic, hold hands, and stick
together.
13. Be aware of 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.
14. Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam
cup--they all die. So do we.
15. And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned--
the biggest word of all--LOOK.
