"When 1 grow up" is a ular phrase used when i, s are ,dreaming of the luxury of being older. We never seem to be satisfied with the age we are and the things we have. To me, a baby's life would be perfect. A newborn eats, sleeps and cries when things aren't the way they should be. But in reality being a baby isn't so great. t can't personally remember every detail, but when you think of it, crying all of the time and goofing and having bottles shoved in your face might not be a beautiful life. PEACHES AND CREAM You might say that a toddler's life would be all peaches and cream. Just ask a toddler sometime. Or fol- low him around a while and you'll see. 1 babysit a little Attention Farmers WE PAY 920. TO 950. PER HUNDRED WEIGHT FOR OLD, RECENTLY INJURED OR CRIP- PLED COWS AND STEERS.

You finally pull yourself up so that you are looking at every- one else's knee caps and you plop down again after all that work! A toddler lives in a world of "Don't touch!", "Go to sleep!", "Eat your cereal" and "Look at the mess you've made!"

A pre-schooler is too young to do many things such as pouring milk, but too old.to be carried or to leave messes for Mom to pick up. A four-year-old is liable to tell you that the perfect age is five because you are old enough to go to school. A five-year-old might disagree. TOO YOUNG' TOO OLD Primary students are often told to wait until they are older as well. "Don't build that model car yourself Johnny, wait until your father can help you or you are a little older." or "You can't ride uptown on your bikes by yourselves. You're too young." Do these phras- es sound familiar? These sentences might too. "You're too big to need help making your bed" or "When are you ever going to grow up and start acting your age". , Every child dreams of the day when he is 16, old enough to drive, go to high school, have girlfriends... all the glamour and excitement. Suddenly when that anxious- ly -awaited birthday comes around, things are no longer the same. You discover the cost and responsibilities of driving a car. It isn't as much tun as it seemed when you were 13. Being a teenager means that you are old enough for responsibilities such as homework, extra -curricular activities, 4-H, Junior Farm- ers, helping out at home' and a part-time job. However, you are still not old enough to stay out late at night, drink or vote. These things are dreams of being 19. Flow - ever. as you probably guess- ed, once 19 rolls around it isn't as exciting as you had once imagined. The hotels and bars get boring after awhile and voting can be a pain in the neck and a big decision. ROUGH DAYS In your late teens you might dream of the house with the white picket fence, today before you worry about the children playing in the back spouse are alone again and Unfortunately by that th time, he wishes that he had taken more time out to play baseball with Johnny or build that model car. And his wife might wish that she had yard and your wonderful wife a children are all grown up or husband. This can turn and have families of their into a nightmare 'when you own. He might think of his actually experience some of retlrelnent; no more work, no the rough days of being in more problems. your late twenties and thirt- les. The bills, repairs and ,`-' sick children are not consid- ered when you first began thinking of marriage and a Itimily.

Banjos made of wood and tin pie plates with wire strings could be found in the crowd of instruments displayed at the front doors of the school. Finger pianos, wrenches and pipes hung on stands, a mexican bell, sand block's, tamberines made of a pail lid and bottle caps stood out in the imaginative crowd of instruments. Shakers made from light bulbs, plastic containers, papier mache and paper plate shakers filled with all sorts of dried materials added a very rythmic beat. Bongo drums could be seen. Mrs. Griffin, the music teacher who assigned the project said "The results were excellent." THE HURON EXPOSITOR, FEBRUARY 9, 1983 — A15 future taken Susan to the play- ground or baked cookies. They might both wish that they had enjoyed the time when their parents insisted on holding their hand as they crossed the road Or the time when their mothers had waited up past midnight for them to get home from a date. Ina time when everyone is worried about the future and atomic bombs and pushing for tomorrow, taketa minute and enjoy the present today.
