I hereby formally request to replace Dr. Suess day in schools for Phineas and Ferb Day.

Dr. Suess day is celebrated on the author's birthday March 2.

Phineas and Ferb Day is celebrated on the 76 day of school. Or the day where there are 104 day until summer vacation. The reason for this being there are 104 days til Summer vacation, like the title song.

Dr. Suess. A Problematic person to say the least.

Phineas and Ferb. Not Problematic. Smart, kind, and respectful. A friend to all. They are literally friends with the nerd AND the bully. They get kids interested in S.T.E.AM, Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math by doing fun projects. They are active and don't laze their Summers away. They clean up after themselves. Modern kids love them. They are the perfect role models.

Temperature and Temptation

With summer, the school holidays arrived.  To me, that meant idle time and temptation, in other words freedom.  I particularly liked skulking along the Logan River’s banks checking the wild mango trees for fruit.  I loved mangoes!  Their sticky juice permanently stained my chin for the season.  Whilst I adhered to Mother’s warnings about snakes, I didn’t abide by hers to stay away from all watercourses.  Those mangoes were way too big a temptation.  Mother feared I’d drown in any pool of water larger than a puddle. I thought she worried needlessly; though, her fear was reasonable in hindsight.  Back then, most people couldn’t swim and nearly nobody could breathe under water.  As there wasn’t any community swimming bath built in the area; I and the other local children had no opportunity to learn.  Consequently, people drowned.

Alas, Mother’s threat, that she’d kill me instantly if she caught me near water, didn’t deter me.  I wasn’t sure which death would be quicker, easier or the least painful; drowning or the punishment I’d receive for sticking my toe in water.  Despite shying away from bath water, I stuck my feet in every pool of water I saw; unless it smelt of course.  I waded in a nearby creek’s shallows on a hot day and through flash flood water to go wherever I needed.  Mother never checked if my feet were dirty or clean from a dip in a puddle on the way home.

In distance terms, the Bethania Waterford area wasn’t far from the coast.  Thus, summer was hot and humid.  The surrounding thickets of bush trapped this heat and humidity.  Fortunately, I knew where this creek was hidden amongst the dense scrub.  It was located conveniently close to Pop’s and Nana’s house and just over one and a half kilometres from my home.  It flowed through a string of waterholes.  Some of these were large pools and others long, narrow channels.  With no roads nor railway houses in the vicinity, the creek became a frequent and secret haunt of mine.  I knew Mother would never find me here.  Being sweaty with the heat, I often felt tempted to immerse myself in the creek’s cool waters.  However, it looked deep and appeared to flow quite fast.  I was alone too.  My previous injury with the tomahawk near this creek had taught me not to engage in dangerous pursuits by myself.

Soon after this injury, I began hanging around regularly with Reggie.  As neither of us were farmers’ children, we had time to goof about.  I learned that mischief was far more enjoyable when it was shared.  Which of us was the worse influence on the other was uncertain.  Reggie was a neighbour’s son and was about six years older than me.  As a young boy, I treated him like an older cousin.  Sometimes, he doubled me on the handle bar of his bicycle to and from school.  By the time I was nine, I had adopted him as my big brother.  He didn’t mind.  There were no other lads in the surrounding area for him to hang with either.  Besides, he loved my bit of hero worship.

His father and uncle were mates with my dad.  The three men were an incongruous trio just as Reggie and I were an unlikely pair.  Reggie’s dad held an important job high up in the Railway; mine didn’t.  Still, their Railway blood was thick.  His uncle meanwhile involved himself with illicit pursuits and paid the price accordingly.  Due to Dad’s friendship, Mother couldn’t disapprove of my budding bromance with Reggie.

Reggie was good to me.  He taught me to be entrepreneurial.  Together, we collected soft drink bottles along the railway tracks for their deposit money and halved the rewards.  When his father bought him a new bicycle to accommodate his lengthening legs, he sold me his older, smaller one for the money I earnt from the bottles.

He had a talent for making fun too.  One day whilst riding along a bush track, we stopped at the creek.  We rode down the creek’s bank into the water as deep as we dared to go.  Reggie couldn’t swim either.  Nevertheless, being the taller of us, he checked the creek’s depth and thought it safe enough for us.  We stripped off.  Reggie was as wily as I.  We didn’t need our mothers to see wet clothing.  We launched our bikes off the creek bank and crashed into the water, splashing each other.  We laughed loudly.  I hadn’t laughed like this before.  The spot became one of our favourite summer hangouts.

We became more adventurous and surveyed the creek’s length and its depths.  Its central channel looked deeper than Reggie’s standing height but its width wasn’t wide.  We had previously spied people swimming in it.  So, we thought we’d take a dip too.  Being country lads, we had our trusty rope with us.  Boys always carried a rope.  It could be used to drag wood home or to help climb a tree.  We tied the rope to a strong looking gum.  This was our lifeline to hold on to while swimming in the creek.  Soon, we let it go and discovered how to dog paddle from one side of the creek to the other.  We swam there often.  I even hid a pair of khaki green shorts permanently in a tree to have a dip on route to Pop’s house.  I no longer looked a dirty urchin.  Luckily, nobody noticed!

Temptation and its friend, stupidity, beckoned Reggie and me to a larger, deeper waterhole further along the creek.  On one sweltering day, this crystal clear pool of water was very enticing.  I jumped into it first without a thought about the creek’s fast flowing current.  This current caught me in its grasp.  I valiantly tried to swim against it but it determinedly dragged me downstream.  I flailed frantically, trying to swim to the creek’s bank.  Reggie dived into those perilous waters, and being much stronger, pulled me to safety.  If I hadn’t panicked, I probably would have floated to the bank where the creek narrowed.  I answered my question about death.  Drowning would be quicker, easier and less painful than Mother’s punishment.

From that day, Reggie and I respected water and its dangers.  In time, we became better swimmers though not fishes like my future children would be.  Neither of us would ever muster the courage to swim underwater either.  At least, we didn’t fear water like our parents did even if we wouldn’t wet our toes in the Logan River.  By the way, they never caught us swimming.

Sometimes, temptation is the best teacher if one survives its lessons and their consequences.  Its lessons aren’t easily forgotten.  The dangers aside, Reggie brought fun into my life and had my back.

Ahhhh, What A Day!!

What. A. Day. It's. Been!

A slightly different post this week, not a question but rather a statement of exasperation!! It had been a day of trauma, hyperactivity and many tears. It was the school holidays after Christmas and my son had gotten a bike for Christmas and of course, rightly so, wanted to go on a bike ride. The weather had been awful, wet for days and so I was reluctant to go to our usual spot for a bike ride.…
