Flush.
Play fair.
Don’t hit people.
Share everything.
Live a balanced life.
Be aware of wonder.
Clean up your own mess.
Take a nap every afternoon.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
Put things back where you found them.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
When you go out into the world, watch for traffic,
hold hands and stick together.
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. 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 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 nation and other 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 best to hold hands and stick together.
