Learned in Kindergarten

hat Learned in Kindergarten
Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate mountain, but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
There are the things I learned: share everything. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don’t take thing that aren’t yours. Say you’re sorry when your hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK. Everything you need o know is in there somewhere.
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 with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nations to always put things back where found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into world, it is better to hold hands an stick together.
For me and for all firend!
