Several mornings a week a group I have started to refer to as the Rope Children are paraded past our apartment. It is a group of about two-dozen four year olds that converse loudly with one another as they hold onto their rope.
The rope is held by two Responsible Adults with one at each end (there are usually at least four Responsible Adults accompanying the group). The rope branches out so there is some rope for each child to hold onto as they walk along.
This morning they were singing/chanting.
The leader:
Everywhere we go
The children echoing:
Everywhere we go
People wanna know People wanna know
What do we tell them What do we tell them
We are the preschoolers We are the preschoolers
Then there are loud shouts of:
We’re going to be quiet when we cross the street.
That is a very nice thought.
I think they’re going to go to the park down the street. It is a nice looking park, if I was four I’d want to go play there too… actually, I’d like to go play there anyway, they have swings.
