      In my family, there’s no concept of waiting until the children begin attending school to start teaching them how to read.

    Who made that up? Bad parenting at its finest. I had too many students with very poor reading skills. High school.

      Come on, as I’m sure you saw, reading wasn’t the only thing they were not taught at home before starting school.

    On my late mother's birthday, we toast her memory in Jameson's Whiskey, and I give the prayer:

    May the road rise up to meet you, and the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields
    And, until we meet again
    May God hold us all in the palm of His hand ...

    And may we all be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows we're dead! This post was edited by Slartibartfast at September 26, 2020 10:05 PM MDT

      There’s an old tradition in Black families wherein we save the hair from a boy’s first haircut and it ensures he’ll be successful or intelligent or strong, etc.
