    Didn’t get an allowance, if I wanted money had to mow neighbor’s yards in summer and clean snow off walk in winter, and rake leaves in the fall.

    I found that out early in life. It kind of made me not want to discuss money with anyone.

    As Tom Paxton reminds us:What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?I learned that Washington never told a lie.I learned that soldiers seldom die.I learned that everybody’s free.And that’s what the teacher said to me.That’s what I learned in school today.That’s what I learned in school.

    What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?I learned that policemen are my friends.I learned that justice never ends.I learned that murderers die for their crimes.Even if we make a mistake sometimes.That’s what I learned in school today.That’s what I learned in school.

    What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?I learned our government must be strong.It’s always right and never wrong.Our leaders are the finest men.And we elect them again and again.That’s what I learned in school today.That’s what I learned in school.

    What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?What did you learn in school today,Dear little boy of mine?I learned that war is not so bad.I learned of the great ones we have had.We fought in Germany and in France.And some day I might get my chance.That’s what I learned in school today.That’s what I learned in school.

    My son said he was going to help grandpa (my dad) with some yard work and that grandpa was going to pay him. I said, if he says he will pay you twice as much as he paid me as a kid- your screwed!
