"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."
- Dr Seuss -
I was delighted when Brendan suggested this quote for this weekend, as I vividly the Dr Seuss books when my children were younger. My eldest daughter was dyslexic, so we had lots of Dr Seuss books and her favourite was the Cat in the Hat - I bet she can still say the whole book by heart. Below is the part that no doubt still floats into my dreams, I heard and read it so many times! If you have your own Dr Seuss memories, let me know, if YOU can get the comment box to work (blogger messing things up lately).
"too wet to go out,
and too cold to play ball,
they just sat in the house,
and did nothing at all,
and all they could do
and all they could do
was to sit, sit, sit,
and they did not like it,
not one little bit..."
He was never part of my childhood, nor my children's. Perhaps I should explore his work now, with the excuse of reaching my second childhood? :)
