Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 03, 2020

why would preschoolers want welding kits, paintball supplies, and old fireworks?

My first grade teacher had a puppet theatre and a dress up corner. We thought they were great.

Did she say “exciting” or “exiting”?

How did they manage to have any ‘old’ fireworks?

I love Dill’s family… and grateful to have never taught them!

Like the “chemistry set” Toothless Pete tried to donate. But there is a new spider petting zoo behind the furnace.

You’r right, Kevin. This cannot be accepted without a fight!

“Kevin, your parents just donated a bunch of buckets!”

“Those are my hats!”

They’re fun!

Exciting! Fun! Educational!

Whew. Miss Bliss has exhausted my excitability.

If Kevin the Buckethead doesn’t think any of these things are exciting/fun/educational, maybe he should be invited to go and play with The Brothers Wedekind….

I’m working on a weekly Zoom-based puppet show. I call it “Zooppet Theater.”

Just think of Dill"s poor mom.

kids always want things they know they can’t have; just like us adults!
