We Learned It All 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-school
mountain, but there in the sandbox.
These are the things I learned. Save 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
yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash
your hands before you eat. Live a balanced life. Learn some
and think some, and draw and sing and dance and play and
work every day some.
Take a nap in the 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 why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice — and even the little
seed in the plastic cup — they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the
first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK.
Everything you need to know is in there somewhere. The
golden rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all had
cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and
then laid down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a
basic policy in our nation and other nations always to 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 best to hold hands and stick
together.
