20 years ago, Robert Fulghum wrote a book called All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. The book is a collection of lessons usually taught in Kindergarten, and explains how the world would be a better place if adults lived by these rules of thumb as well.
It’s a cute book and all, but it’s a bit outdated. I mean, come on! 1988? Did televisions and microwaves even exist back then?! Not to mention a little something called the INTERNET. By the way... I can’t mention the Internet without giving a shout-out to my boy AL GORE. He totally rocked my virtual universe by inventing the WWW. Love you, Al!
Life is completely different than it was 20 years ago, and so are the things you learn in Kindergarten. Though most of Fulghum’s lessons still apply, I felt that they needed some updating.
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten – 21st Century Edition
1. If you don’t know the answer, Google it.
2. Don’t shoot people.
3. Recycle, or your planet will die.
4. Share everything, except needles. In fact – just stay away from needles altogether.
5. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you, as long as the milk is organic and the cookies aren’t loaded with preservatives.
6. Just because you read it on the Internet does not mean it’s true.
7. Always remember what DJ Lance taught you – say sorry when you hurt somebody.
8. Live a balanced life – don’t spend 10 hours a day on social media sites.
9. Don’t text while you’re driving. Don’t talk on the phone while driving. Don’t eat and drive. And for the love of God, don’t drink and drive.
10. When all else fails, reboot.
Good luck children of the 21st century, you’re going to need it.
TTFN,
PMuff
