Lessons from Kindergarten

Mohst ov wat Ize reelee need tah kno aboot haow tah liv and wat tah dew, and haow tah be, Ize learned in kindergarten. Wisdom wuz nutt at da top ov da graduate school mountain, butz theah in da sandbox at nursery school.Deez r da dings Ize learned:Cher evereeding.Plahay fair.Don't hit peeple.Put dings back wheah yew fownd dem.Clean upe yur own mess.Don't tayk dings dat aren't yours.Za you're sorree whin yew hurt sumbuddy.Warsh yur hands befoah yew eet.Flush.Wahm cookies and cold milk r gud foah yew.Liv a balanced lyfe.Learn summ and tink summ and draw and paint and sing and dance and plahay and wuk eweree day summ.Tayk a nap eweree afternoon.Whin yew goe owd into da world, wahch foah traffic, howald hands and stik togetha.Be aware ov wonder.Recommember da yiddle seed in da plaztick cup? Da roots goe down and da palant goz upe and nobody reelee knows haow or why, butz wee r awl lyke dat. Goldfish and hamsters and white mouzies and even da yiddle seed in da plaztick cup -- dey awl die. Zo dew wee.And denn recommember da book aboot Dick and Jane and da fuhst wurd yew learned, da biggest wurd ov awl: luk.Evereeding yew need tah kno iz in theah somewhere. Da Golden Rule and luv and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and sane living.Tink wat a betah world id wud be if wee awl -- da holee world -- hat cookies and milk aboot 3 o'clock eweree afternoon and denn lay down wid our blankets foah a nap. Or if wee hat a basic policy in our nation and odda nations tah always put dings back wheah wee fownd dem and cleaned upe our own messes. And id iz ztill true, no matter haow owld yew r, whin yew goe owd into da world, id iz best tah howald hands and stik togetha.
