All I needed to know I learned in Kindergarten
Most of what I really need to know
About how to live and what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain,
But there in the sandpile of Sunday School,
These are the things I learned:
Share everything,
Play fair
Don't hit people
Put things back where you found them,
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that are not yours,
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody,
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm Cookies and milk are good for you,
Live a balanced life- learn some and think some
And draw and paint and sing and dance
And play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon,
When you go out into the world,
watch out for traffic,
hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
