Every day after school, I ask Amy what she learned in school. She always says, "Nothing", or "Same ole', same ole'". Yesterday she said that she learned that the peacock sticks his nose in the sand. I said, "Don't you mean an ostrich instead of a peocock and his head instead of his nose?" She said, "No, I just made it up so I would have something to tell you when you asked." Does this remind you of the book "And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street?
What Did You Do In Kindergarten Today
When children come home At the end of the day,
The question they're asked as they scurry to play
Is "Tell me what did you you do, today?"
And the answer they give makes you sigh with dismay.
"Nothing, I did nothing today."
Perhaps, "nothing" means I played with blocks
Or counted to 50 today,
Maybe I painted a picture of red and blue
Or heard a story about a bird that flew.
Maybe today was the very first time
That my scissors followed a very straight line.
Or, maybe I led a song from beginning to end,
Or played with a special brand new friend.
When you are small, and the whole world sings
"Nothing" can means SO many things.
