Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 03, 2012

And I thought I was the only kid who did that with dandelions!

I never knew dandelions had the same effects as buttercups.

we used to call dandelions wet the beds dont know why though

It’s not a myth, it’s natural herbal history!!!They used the roots of the plants, you can still buy dandelion and burdock in Britain.

I taught my daughters the dandelion/butter thing a couple of years ago; they still do it once the dandelions arrive. There is also: blow the “fluff” off of a dandelion while making a wish, and if you blow them ALL off in one puff, your wish will come true.

That brings back memories.

I thought everyone liked butter.

Since briatollah brought it up, I don’t care for butter. It has a funny taste to begin with, and it spoils too easily and gets a rotten taste, yech. Margarine ‘keeps’ longer (seems like forever). I can hardly wait till our neighbor’s yard turns into a dandelion field, and it spreads to our yard. Grr. (Yeah, I knew you’d all want to hear (read) about my problems. ha)

When I was little, I would rub dandelions on my nose to turn it yellow and my parents would laugh and take pictures.

PARKAY!

Awwwwww. We used to do that in Primary School…

I never knew what it meant.

LOL xxx

Milk it for all it’s worth Chuck.

‘One o’clock, two o’clock. three o’clock…Dandelions don’t care about the time…

Remember the Rolling Stones doing that when they were YOUNG men?

We used to do this with buttercups – not dandelions. If you blow a dandelion head in seed you will have a lawn full of them !!

Okay, why can Sally pick the dandelions but Charlie Brown isn’t allowed to?

Charlie Brown doesn’t want to PICK the dandelions — he wants to MOW them. There’s a difference between picking just one or two and destroying the entire lot of them

“Why do you build me up … buttercup, baby??”

I like Frieda. She’s cute. I wish Sparky would have used her more
