Sesame Street Life Lesson # 71
This weekend, I had to write a report about how my first grade tutoree is learning to read and I had trouble focusing. To abate the temptation to watch tv or go to bed, I made an emergency run to the Teacher Materials Center at Milner Library and grabbed an armload of children's music. It worked, I finished my assignment in no time--and not only did it work, I found this nugget of wisdom hidden within all that insanity:
You've Got to Put Down The DuckyIf You Want to Play the Saxaphone.
Just think about that for a minute. You'll get it.
And when you do--oh, when you do--life is good.

Ok, Jo-el, so you say life is good, but do you understand the implications of putting down the ducky? Ernie (from Sesame Street) wants to play the sax, but Count Basie says he can't until he puts down the ducky. Made me think of that verse Aaron wrote on the board that morning we stole your car...the one about putting away childish things...
