12 POSTVILLE (Iowa) HERALD Oct 1, 1969 RANDOM THOUGHTS By Mrs. C. D. Time flies, and already we are in our sixth week of classes since school started. This fact prompted me to visit the kindergarten rooms to interview the small fry I wanted to know what they had learned and how they liked this new experience in their lives.

They were unprepared for my visit and shy at first but soon responded to questioning. Both classes were enthusiastic over their latest art project, the making of very colorful butterflies I sat down with a group busily drinking their morning milk through straw. "What do you like best about kindergarten?" I asked. "Playing outside," one told me and several others nodded agreement. "Finger painting," replied a would-be artist.

"Singing songs," smiled another. "Making leaf people," chimed in a little girl and she pointed to the ceiling where indeed hung some very attractive 'leaf people'. "I like everything about kindergarten except girls," announced a young womanhater, taking a bite of cracker and a sip of milk. "My Dad cut my hair," he continued, turning his head for me to see, "but just the back, cause he's not really a barber." "Oh, then what is your "He's a I turned to the little one on my left. "I like to blow through straws," he said, pointing the milky cylinder at me.

I wiped the milk from my glasses and decided it was time to move. "What have you learned since you started to school?" I querried another group. "To stand on my head," I was told. "Me too" chimed in another. "To push myself on the swing." "To tie my shoes," announced a young man proudly displaying his knotted sneakers.

"What happened to you?" asked another lad with a cut above the eye and on the cheek "I ran into a barbed wire," he told me. Not to be outdone, a little girl showed me a scratched hand and scuffed knee. "What happened?" I asked with sympathy. "I fell on the driveway running to catch the bus." "1 didn't cry," said the boy. "Neither did boasted the girl.

My Mother's having a birthday tomorrow," announced a lit tie one proudly. "MY Birthday IS tomorrow," stated another. 'My Dad's birthday was Satur day." They all eager to talk by now. "My Dad caught a big fish." "I caught a big fish too." "How big?" "That big," and little arms were quickly stretched to their full span. "I caught a big fish too." "How big?" "This big," and with obviously longer arms, he stretched them wide, proving again that the first fisherman doesn't have a chance.

It was time to go but I had one sneaky question left. "Do you like your teacher?" 'Yes," they all chorused in unison. Then one of them pulled a sneaky question on me. "How can a black cow, that eats green grass, give white milk and yellow butter?" If I ever figure out the answer to that one, I'm going back. WHY COOK AT HOME?
