Today my friend came to the stand with the young boy she was babysitting. I used to play outside when I was little but if this boy is representative of the next generation, which I hope he is not, instead of man hunt and tree forts it's can you name all 50 of the latest cell phones and their gadgets? He told me he loves shopping and doesn't need to work because his mom works for a millionaire and his father works for a billionaire. When the topic of my endeavor came up he asked why I was such a nature freak and claimed that “nature is the worst thing that has ever happened.” Which was ironic because he seemed fully pleased as he gulped down his sparkling cider and sucked on his maple candies.
Below is the fortune I received after indulging in a bowl of wonton soup and a spicy salmon maki tonight at dinner:
You are the only flower of meditation in the wilderness.
Learn Chinese- Tofu- 豆腐 (dòufu)
Lucky numbers 32,31,46,27,38,2
Shelf mushrooms on the Wapack trail.
If it weren't for nature, he would not be here and nor would this fortune.
Nice mushrooms :-).., .you do see that alot now these days, video games and cash seem to be more important to kids than fresh air and a nice day to get out and enjoy! It's sad to see, and even more sad to see parents letting it happen..not that they are directly to blame, society says it's good to let kids do as they wish, but STEP UP and show your kids what lifes about, have a little fun!!! (away from the TV and game console, it can be done)
