    SUFFER UNTO ME THE LITTLE CHILDREN

    Suffer unto me the little children. (mathew/19-14.htm)

    If you can't do it;

    Caddy

    (me)

    I have two nursery schools (preschools?) near my abode and I pass them at least four times a week. I am forced to stop when the kids are playing in the school yard or walking on a field trip.

    The women who guard this new generation (no I'm not sexist in this respect although I most probably am sexist but after 7 years in this location; I have yet to see a guy acting as yard monitor!)

    These children for the most part (and I mean the mostest part because I view 90%+ of these children having a good time) are so very very happy and energetic and wonderful!

    I cannot of course, in this day and age wait and gawk too much at these little waifs; I do not wish to be labeled as some pervert like Bill Burr notes:

    Bill Burr and pedophiles.

     

     

    But I love to watch the women take the little people on safaris around this side of town. It is so damn sweet. I mean they have all of the children attached with yarn. And the nannies are issuing their orders so sweetly.

    We must walk on the grass side. That's right the grass side of the sidewalk.

    And the kids, some of them as dumb as I was when I was four, do not really understand the message.

    And then the train must stop so that the nanny at the end of the line shores up the troops.

    Hahahahaha

    I wrote a blog on an English film called Happy-Go-Lucky!

    Just a wonderful film about a girl who loves to teach little children! I love that film

    At the school yard I think I have witnessed one recalcitrant minor felon who just started throwing rocks on the roof installed over a sand box.

    The nanny was instructing the little bugger that if he would not refrain from this activity his school yard privileges would be removed. Hahhahaaah

    The little guy was not hurting anyone but he was sending a message, so to speak.

    And I certainly sympathized with the nanny on this one.

    But for the most part, these kids are all so happy and vibrant and involved in being alive!

    I swear that if it were not for the concerns of Bill Burr I could watch these kids for hours; although ducks and geese and sea gulls and a lot of other pieces of nature also really grab me at times! Haahaha

    Now little babies like my granddaughter. Well I can watch them for hours.

    Maybe I am just intellectually crippled, but babies are amazing in that they really are interested in their environment. It is like:

    Oh this chair is interesting. I mean this chair is not me. Although I am not that sure of what 'me' means!

    The only deception with babies over a year or so is when they feign to seek their nuke from a parent with real zeal and with real want and desire and once they get the nuke, they immediately throw it on the floor to see what will happen.

    Kind of like Senator Cruz when he feigns to care about poor folks and throws up in their face once it is time to vote!

    I am ashamed to document this, but I discovered why I love these little children playing at their preschool.

    Let me put it this way.

    I watch Cash Cab from time to time.

    Now half the time you will see contestants like two couples going on a double date. Or you might see a Mom & Dad and two grown up kids. Or you might run into three guys being guys and headed for their beer stop. Or, and I think this is the best, you run into three 'girls'; women really in their late teens or early twenties headed for some party or bar or whatever.

    And these contestants laugh and cheer and appear to have the most wonderful times.

    What is the capital of Brazil?

    And the girls are laughing and then begin yelling out and then come up with the answer and Ben_Bailey just pretends the answer might be wrong and then he admits: You are right for fifty dollars.

    The Price is Right can be seen as another example of humanity on the preschool level?

    These contestants are like four year olds jumping up and down and screaming bloody murder and just as happy as all get out!

    And the five contestants must guess the suggested retail value of some new TV or Stereo or whatever without going over. And they will 'cheat' their neighbor at times guessing 501 bucks because the previous contestant guessed 500 bucks and....who cares?

    We are looking at contestants aged between 18 and 68!

    They all appear to be having fun.

    I know so much of this is staged with pre-show try outs and such but damn, in the end all these adults become kids.

    Like the Twilight Zone episode that turned into two movies.

    This ability to morph into a childlike existence is there for all of us; at least according to Adler.

    I realize that these thoughts might just lead to our national athletic audiences where we act like kids at the ball game and such.

    There is nothing original here.

    It is only when we refuse to recognize the child inside of us; when we refuse to recognize our own souls, that we are sentenced to forever live as 'adults'; adults who hate and fight for everything!

    I leave you all with this last note.

    Stilli showed up on some blog of mine (I think) and announced that she had just 'taught' her four year old grand child how to read!

    Stilli could not do that, could not experience that type of grandeur without reaching down deep inside and feeling the child within her!

    Gohmert recently announced that people of food stamps are able to purchase Alaskan King Crab legs whilst the rest of us were destined to purchase buck cans of tuna.

    This is an obvious lie.

    This goes back to the old days of the Welfare Queen fairy tale.

    On $138/month, someone dumb enough to purchase fifty bucks worth of crab legs is not going to finish the month; unless he is on a diet!

    But then again the perpetrator might save us all a bunch of money in medical bills by dieting.

    If Representative Gohmert could somehow reach down deep deep deep into his soul he might empathize with his inner child; even though that child was the one throwing rocks on the playground.

    We adults just do not have to be like this.

    I know.

    Neither do rusho or beckerhead or bachmann (who should know better having made all her livelihood on gov funds dedicated to kids) or palin (who should know better with all those kids and stuff) or....

    BOBBY JINDAL

    Because the left wants: The government to explode; to pay everyone; to hire everyone;they believe that money grows on trees; the earth is flat; the industrial age, factory-style government is a cool new thing; debts don’t have to be repaid; people of faith are ignorant and uneducated; unborn babies don’t matter; pornography is fine; traditional marriage is discriminatory; 32 oz. sodas are evil; red meat should be rationed; rich people are evil unless they are from Hollywood or are liberal Democrats; the Israelis are unreasonable; trans-fat must be stopped; kids trapped in failing schools should be patient; wild weather is a new thing; moral standards are passé; government run health care is high quality; the IRS should violate our constitutional rights; reporters should be spied on; Benghazi was handled well; the Second Amendment is outdated; and the First one has some problems too.

    I know there are real issues out there.

    I would just pray that we could find our inner child from time to time and maybe just that realization might lighten things up a bit.

    Anyway, when the bad guys win; take yourself over to some preschool playground or watch a field trip with yarn toggled younguns and imagine that human beings' have the ability to 'get along'.

    And I do not remove myself from the equation.

    I would like to empathize more with others like children; I would really wish to touch upon the lighter parts of my soul.

    I would wish that I could work with the child who stands upon the playground throwing rocks!

    The end.

    PS

    I came across this strange but wonderful photo of German POW's forced to watch films produced by the West demonstrating the Holocaust.

    Nice blog.  Kids are special and the Gee O' Pee are blind to them.  They have the attitude that they are like live stock and can be maintain the same way.  I would comment more but I am tired from watching the live stream from Texas capital this morning.  Wow... what a night but I had my grand daughter in law with me to share the event. She came to me and asked who Wendy Davis was because her tumbler dash board just blew up with tumbles. Then facebook caught on fire and we just had to watch what had the ladies all excited about.  It is going to be the ladies, who rock the cradles of these babies, that is going to take on the crazies.  I think they scared the shit out of the male power structure in Texas.  You can gerrymander out ethnic groups and democrats but you can't gerrymander women out.  They are everywhere and many of them are not happy.


    That Texas woman is WONDERFUL!

    We shall hear more from her in the near future!


    Well done, Richard.  I love that you love little children unconditionally.  I'll bet they know that and love you, too.  I understand your reluctance to appear too interested in them, lest you brand yourself a pervert, but what a sad day that was when men who love kids had to start thinking about how it would look if they paid too much attention.

    I want you to keep the innocence and laughter of those kids in mind, so I beg you not EVER to find the channel where Toddlers and Tiaras is aired.  It is absolute child abuse.  Don't go there.

     


    I have channel surfed and found this tiara crap and I am nauseous; I am done.

    Oh and I get to see my granddaughter Sunday AM and my son will stay over tomorrow night and I am happy.

    Thank you for checking in.

    I am confounded by 'humanity' but I really really do love children!

    When one becomes so disgusted with 'us', that one must take another look at our children!


    Hope you have a great time with your family.  So glad you'll have some time with your little lady.  She'll have fond memories of her gramps someday.
