Dave, that's a good one. It sure speaks of more innocent times when most kids were trained to have a moral conscience! As my son just went off to orchestra class (the only class he takes at school - the rest homeschooled) he commented on how rude the other kids were because he has an old beat-up violin case. We talked a bit about the way some kids at school treat the other kids.
My mother had a real liking for Eugene Field, and she would recite that tear-jerker, Little Boy Blue. I memorized it once, but couldn't get through saying it without getting choked up.
