School Paste

Children will be children...



We were no more
Than seven and eight
Doing something
We should not have
Been doing-
Children will be children
We were so excited
Paste-
School paste
All we needed
Was water and flour
After making our concoction
We threw it in our sisters'
Top drawer of their chest of drawers
About a week or so-
A terrible smell
Came from that drawer
My mother found 
Our paste

Yes when I think of crafts and school, those were the things we had too, make your own glue, 8 pack Crayola crayons, brown drawing paper books, and Campfire notebooks....so much has changed.

I really hated it when I saw other kids eating paste. But now I realize, unlike my mom, their mothers didn't leave them properly, and they were malnourished.

Besides, that stuff never stuck very long unless you made papier-mâché.

Such fun memories (wee bit icky for Mother). When you said school paste I remember the white paste that actually tasted good! A nice waxy concoction with bits of construction paper in it from little fingers dipping in and spreading it on our paper. Thank you for the morning smiles. A nice trigger to think back to those days.

Love and Light

I played with matches one time under a pine green truck with my brother and a pile of dried leaves. Apparently we were under the gas tank!
Thank Goodness the neighbor lady seen what we were doing with our little fire....
