If You Can't
Lick 'em-Join em
Just back from visiting with my
daughter’s family —and playing
Grandpop to two of the cutest
kids you ever saw. While therw I
picked up a couple of new ideas
on child raising:
If your child’s learning to use
a pen, provide an old fountain
p e n -fille d w ith bluing. Looks
an«i w rites like ink, but won’t
stain clothes or fu rn itu re .
Maybe you have a boy, like my
grandson, who thinks he’s too
old for a bib —but isn ’t. A big
cowboy bandana works ju st is
well, and looks he-man to b«x)t
From where I sit, getting along
with children
like getting along
with grownups —it requires aa
effort to see things from the other
person’s p«jint of view. At any
age, there's no accounting for
tastes. Take my neighbor who
keeps a parakeet and drinks hot
coffee in the summ ertime. That
seem s strange to me . . . a man
who’s partial to hound dogs and a
cooling glass of beer. But I’d be
