What do Rice Krispies say?
Well just now on a commercial I think they said "Children can't learn
to listen if you don't teach them."
A couple of months ago I bought a few super-cheap DVDs, one of
commercials from the 50's and 60's, and it had the original black &
white cartoon of the full-length Rice Krispies jingle, which is an
intricate and elaborate contrapuntal extravaganza. It's a jazz
madrigal. Holly listened to it several times. We talked about
advertising jingles and music and changing culture. Even the
lyrics are cool, and they sang each part individually so you got to
hear all the lyrics.
The lyrics are here, but I didn't find an online sound file.
Things that talk, we personify (or vice-versa—we "give voices" to
things we personify or anthropomorphize). Maybe that's part of the
book worship phenomenon. We "give voice" to paper, and stone, by
putting words on them and then saying "What does it say?"
Gravestones "say" something. Mile markers and way crosses (medieval
stone road markers) "said" things. Runestones (not little new age
toys, but big roadside rocks from 1000 years ago with runes carved on
the edges) "say" things. Books "speak" at length, in the voices of
dead people.

Just thought I'd add that in Australia they're called Rice Bubbles and they
also go Snap, Crackle and Pop!!!
Nice to know that some things sound the same all over the world!

My teens are interested in traveling and enjoying life before going to
college full-time. Anyone know of kids that did this and then went on to
college and careers? I guess I am looking for safe and affordable
ways for them to explore the world. Does anyone know of any volunteer
organizations
that are not too expensive to participate in?

Lillian Jones' (unschooling mom who has been very active in
California unschooling circles - owner and creator of the website
<besthomeschooling.org> ) son spent a year working at a soup kitchen/
shelter in Chicago and is now a student at Antioch College. His year
at the soup kitchen really helped him figure out what he wants to do
and he ha a much stronger sense of what he's doing in college,
because of his experience.
Americorps - lots of really awesome opportunities for community
service in different locales. So - that's one approach.

Well, I don't know what you consider "safe" but when I lived in an
Intentional Community we periodically had young adults come visit for
a period of time - I know some communities take "interns", generally
those with farms or other cottage industries, while others just allow
visitors. I've met a number of folks over the years going "commune
hopping" as a way to see the country from a very different
perspective. Others spend summers in community and goto college during
the "school year". If they are interested, the Intentional Communities
Directory is one place to start, also IC magazine.

There's also an ICFam Yahoo list for family-centered intentional
communities.
I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, I'm a bit behind, but they
can always "WWOOF" it -- Willing Workers On Organic Farms has a network
of volunteer opportunities that spans about 50 countries.
http://www.organicvolunteers.com/ is a good place to start. It lists
mostly U.S. and Latin America opportunities but has forums for asking
questions. http://www.wwoof.org/ is for choosing which country and
inquiring about their specific opportunities.

Just thought I'd add that in Australia they're called Rice Bubbles and
they
also go Snap, Crackle and Pop!!!
Nice to know that some things sound the same all over the world!
-=-=-=-=-=-
Connections, connections---and seven degrees...
My grandfather's best friend was a fellow named Vernon Grant. He drew
the first Snap, Crackle, and Pop characters. My dad has an original
drawing of "Snap" that Mr Grant gave him when he was a young man. He
signed a copy of his Mother Goose book for Cameron shortly before he
died. He's also well-known for his Santas.
Duncan enjoyed this:
In the anime Naruto there is a ninja team with a team similar to Snap,
Crackle, and Pop. Their names are Dosu, Kin, and Zaku; these are
japanese onomatopoeia for Slash, Clang, and Crunch.

School's goal is to prepare them to be anything they want. But the
process is so dullifying and kids haven't explored the possibilities
of what they could be that many set their sites as low as possible.
They go to college to get a job to buy stuff. ~Joyce Fetteroll
