The Family’s Back!


On the other hand Democracy will specifically recognize work done in cooperation with family members. Jessie McKinnon, middle school, Frederick, Manitoba, spent the day with his Dad, who’s a hospital doctor. The lucky boy got to see so much, including putting on greens and observing an operation as it happened. And he handled gallstones! "Like rocks." Young Jessie tells us.

Image, such as a great aunt shows how to cook a gopher or parse a letter, or the next door neighbour - a keen gardener - teaches young Jimmy to recognise flowers by smell and Jimmy is only 4-years-old! Erma Bombeck, when she found out she was dying of cancer, detailed 20 points in If I Had My Life to Live Over. "I would have taken time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth." Thank you, Erma.

The moral here? Of course all kids should, so far as possible, spend a day at mum and dad’s work. This strengthens family. And again (of course) there will be credits earned toward graduation. And again (of course) after an appropriate and vigorous test! The moral here? Of course all kids should, so far as possible, spend a day at mum and dad’s work. This strengthens family.
