Grandma Sez - - - I been a thinkin' lately, how folks rush about, tryin' to get ever*thin' done, and keep 19 wi' the family social programs jest plain, wearin* theirselves out, wi' so much to do. Seems to me, thet, with so much to keep up with, the energy has to be divided iqj 'tween so many things, that there isn't enough to go 'round, and things ain't enjoyed to the fullest, like they wuz, "in times gone by. In my day, mothers and fathers didn't try so hard to keep up with the kids. They wuz left more to enjoy their own fun , and the adults sort o* acted like adults, and the kids expected them to administer the advice, and discipline and help them when they needed help. Fm a wonderin' if the way we do, today, is so good for the kids. I know a number 0* younguns, who seem sort o' to depend on someone else to keep them occupied. They don't seem to know how to do much unless they are told, how to do it. Lettin* kids work out their own problems, fer themselves, builds character and they learn to reason out things, and work them out, theirselves. I hear parents sayin' thet their kids ain't a goin' to want fer anythin'. They don't seem to know thet the "Want" is what creates the need for tryin* and the need fer tryin* creates the ability fer flgurin' out how it kin be accomplished. As I said, many times, to my kiddies, "The strongest tree is the one thet had the hardest time to grow, and stood the toughest winds." Thet is as true as anythin' thet wuz ever said, and one kin see it every day in the human race. Once in a while though, there comes a youngun who in spite of wealth and everthin' given to him on a gold platter, will forge ahead and develope the talents thet he wuz born with. In geheral, though, Pve run across a whole lot young folks who don't seem to have the initiative, and sometimes it is because some adult figured thet he had to do everthin' fer the youngun, instead 0* teachin' the child how to do fer himself.
