In preparation for our lovely ToK lessons this September, I began thinking about all the things I learned as a child; the real foundation of the knowledge I carry today. It brought to mind that wonderful poem by Robert Fulghum 'All I really need to know I learned in Kindergarten'. From there, I began to ponder on what I learned in Kindergarten -
1. Don't daydream when you're taking a test because you'll get behind everyone else and won't be able to catch up - even though a daydream is so much better than taking a test.
2. Caterpillars, which are green and kind of ugly like worms, turn into butterflies, which are pretty and can fly.
3. Kids who eat glue are weird. Kids who put glue on their hands, let it dry, and then peel it off like dead skin are tactile.
Weirdly enough, I also began to hear in my head 'Wheel of Morality, turn turn turn, tell us the lesson we should learn...'. Although I didn't watch the Animaniacs until much later in my childhood, I believe quite a bit of sound knowledge can be gained by the Warner Brothers and their Warner Sister Dot.
So here I present you with the beginning of our quest for knowledge - A compilation of all the wheel of moralities brought to your by those lovely Warners.
Happy viewing...see you in September.
