I received this by email and I thought it was excellent! Have a read and then I’ll tell you what touched me about it.

The last bit where the elder asks the youngen ‘…what are you doing for the next generation?’ resonated with me. Why? Well, I think there are people are generally more self centred now. They can’t see beyond themselves and their needs. Thus doing anything for future generations doesn’t come into it, whether this be recycling, saving, thinking ahead, developing the community, the neighbourhood etc. This all involves looking beyond yourselves, our family unit, right? How many of us do that?

Am I being pessimistic? Please do tell me…

This piece of work was marked and the child was allowed to take it home. The day after, she returned to school with the following note: -

Dear Ms. Davis,

I want to be very clear on my child’s illustration. It is NOT of me on a dance pole on a stage in a strip joint. I work at Home Depot and had commented to my daughter how much money we made in the recent snowstorm. This drawing is of me…. selling a shovel.

Mrs. Harrington

This was an email that was sent to me so I don’t know if it’s real or not but it is funny isn’t it?

This advert was on the tube. I think it’s so amazing! It is funny, weird and highlights why so many children struggle to read if they cannot remember the bizarre rules we have in the English language.

If GH can stand for P in Hiccough

Then the way you spell POTATO is
