Safety First...On citizenship
With Canada Day rapidly approaching, I thought this might be a good time for us all to learn about how to be good citizens. Enjoy!Good citizens of a school help to take care of the school. They do not throw papers all around. And if they see anybody drop anything, they ask him to pick it up because it spoils the looks of the school. (Apparently good citizens are also the ones who get beaten to a bloody pulp when the teacher is not looking.)
The good citizens of a school want the school to be more beautiful. They think of ways to make their school look nice.
Good citizens of a school want everyone there to have a fair chance to work or play. They want fair play in class and on the playground.
Good citizens do their jobs. Each one makes the school a finer school by learning his lessons as well as he possibly can.
Good citizens look after the health and safety of others. They help to prevent accidents. They help with first aid. They do not bring cold germs to school. They keep their handkerchiefs ironed.
A good citizen fights germs.
Every citizen has a job of being a good citizen every day. The grocer is a good citizen by being a very good grocer every day. The bus-driver tries to be a good citizen by being the best bus-driver he knows how to be. The man in the garage tries to be a good citizen by being the best garage man he can possibly be. Each man is being the best citizen by doing his best at his job. The mothers too are good citizens by being the best mothers they know how to be... We can all be good citizens by doing our jobs the best we can.
The feminist in me itches to say something about the fact that women only get to be mothers, but it is getting late, so I will let it slide.
Michelle, if you are reading while off on your exciting European adventures, I was the only one on our team at work today. And I have been deemed worthy to start translating CUBS. I am getting closer to the front of the short bus with every passing day. ;o)

Part of me feels like a serious failure when it comes to being a good citizen. I never iron my handkerchief. In fact, I never iron anything at all. Consequently, my clothes are rather wrinkly today.
