Wealth?
You may have tangible wealth untold,
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be.....
I had a Mother who read to me.

Play With Me
I tried to teach my child with books,
he gave me only puzzled looks.
I tried to teach my child with words,
they passed him by, oft unheard.
Despairingly I turned aside.
"How shall I teach this child?" I cried.
Into my hands he put the key,
"Come," he said, "and play with me"
he gave me only puzzled looks.

Hokey Pokey
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment ,it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost went unnoticed last week.Larry Laprise,the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey" died peacefully at age 93.The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.

Lipstick
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem.
A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips to the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints.
Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the next day the girls would put them back.
Finally, the principal decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses).
To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, she asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required.
He took out a long-handled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror.
There are teachers ... and then there are educators.

Today
We worry about what a child will be tomorrow,
yet we forget that he is someone today.

To my daughters:
Once upon a time,
somebody really special
was born.
The sun was shining,
the birds were singing,
and the stars
were dancing
in the sky.
People smiled
and oooohed and ahhhhed
and celebrated
just because they felt
so happy,
And from that moment on,
the whole world
became a nicer place!
Love: momsy
