I was in the Blood Clinic this week and noticed two boys about 8 and 10 crawling over their mother and waiting for her name to be called. An older gentleman seeing their inability to wait patiently, proceeded to show the boys how to whistle with your fingers. The boys were quickly enthralled and they left the clinic trying their best to master their new skill. I thought to myself, "what a nice thing to do and that those boys will remember that all their lives."
Our life skills may not seem important to us but I will try to remember to pass mine along to the next generation. How many little things do you know that you can teach a child. I know quilting,crochet, knitting, of course but I'm thinking ....how to make the spool knitter out of a wooden spool, cat's in the cradle string game, paper snap toy....
