David Crosby--Teach your children well
one more for David
“Beep, beep.”—Roadrunner
On New Year’s Eve 2022 I spent the evening with my three-year-old granddaughter. We spent the evening listening to music and playing hide n seek. By 10pm we were all in bed. The next morning me and my granddaughter watched Wiley Coyote attempt to catch the roadrunner, beep, beep. My granddaughter loved it, so did I. The cartoons I watched as a child I am now watching them 50+ years later with my granddaughter. When ever Wiley was up on the rocks she would say, “Pops, he’s on the edge again,” and we all know what happens next.
We watched the cartoons for over an hour together. A special time. Throughout the day my granddaughter would run around the house saying, “Beep, beep,” and I’d start chasing her and I could never catch her.
On several of my recorded owl sessions Jan 11, 13th I heard, beep, beep. Coincidence?
This story came to me today as I listened to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s song Teach your children well.
In memory of David. I will teach her well.
The drummer is the same drummer who played on my post VRR #30—David Gilmour Run Like Hell Pompeii 2016. He’s always smiling.
We got our children late in life. My husband wanted to think about children and he thought for ten years before he finally announced that he wanted some children. He is a slow thinker. He thought about marrying me for 22 years. I used to joke with my friends that he was on the look for something better, but I knew that was not true, he is just a slow starter. When we finally got married our children were 10 and 12. My neighbor is a priest and she wed us. Her husband and another neighbor was our witnesses. The kids had a friend over. The dog was asleep in the shadow. Our oldest neighbor watched us from his kitchen window. He asked the next day: did I see you get married yesterday or what was that all about? Yes, we did, it was perfect.
So I always thought that if I get to be a grandmother I will be an old grandmother and that's too bad because I want to chase them around the house going beep, beep, and I want to take them swimming. But now, I sometimes think I won't be around at all, because I took one shot.
Teach your children well, and DO NOT VACCINATE THEM FOR COVID, at least. Words to live by.
