Years later you often see the Peanuts kids, including CB, sitting on a kerb with their feet in the gutter. I actually tried it once, as a kid. There wasn’t much daytime traffic in our neighbourhood, but it wasn’t comfortable.
“Years later you often see the Peanuts kids, including CB, sitting on a kerb with their feet in the gutter.”
I read that the reason that later on we see the kids leaning on a brick wall is that a reader wrote in to tell Charles Schultz that they were afraid that real kids would sit on the curb and get hurt. He agreed that it wasn’t setting the best example of safety, and changed to the brick wall.

Nice job using psychology there. People should do this more often to children on the wrong side of the street.

Of course, in the context of Ecclesiastes, the word “vanity” means “futility,” not “narcissism.”

I meant to say “new meaning”, not “no meaning.” YUK!

It also means something like (paraphrasing here) “siddown and shaddup”…….which Yahweh was QUITE fond of saying………)
