I have spent a lot of time lately watching The Wiggles with my nieces, and let me just tell you, there are so many wonderful life lessons to be learned from The Wiggles. In fact, I have come to believe that if we incorporated some of their ways, we would be much happier people! Here are just a few fascinating things I have learned from The Wiggles...
1. Sometimes stopping to smell the roses in life is just not enough. Dorothy the dinosaur has figured out that just smelling the roses is just not adequate, to reap the full benefit of the roses, you must eat them. I appreciate a gal who knows when to just dig in…literally.
2. It is okay to sing about your favorite foods. In fact, I think it should be a requirement. Sometimes singing about food just makes it taste better. I mean, seriously, doesn’t fruit salad, crunchy munchy honey cakes, mashed bananas and cold spaghetti just taste better when humming a catchy song while eating it? Perhaps I need a jingle for turkey sandwiches…turkey sandwiches…yummy, yummy!
3. Can’t find anything to wear? The Wiggles have taught me that primary colored turtlenecks can really be fashionable. And who says you can’t wear the same thing day after day? Heck, when you find something that works…don’t change it!
4. Driving in traffic and bored…why not try singing “Toot, Toot, Chugga, Chugga?” I tried it the other day while driving home from work and I must say it made my drive much more fun and enjoyable.
5. You know…when you are happy…what is wrong with giving a cheerful finger-wagging? I mean really…can’t you just imagine the joy it would bring to your co-workers to be given two perky finger-guns to show your appreciation or approval? Who wouldn’t love that?
