The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

One was named Dill, I think, like a pickle. The other rhymed.

It was one of the shows I would immediately turn off if I were in the room and babysitting sibs. Of course they'd turn it back on as soon as I left.

They're "Lil and Phil" from "The Rugrats."

We rented a Rug Rats movie for the kids once. I hadn't really seen the cartoon, so I didn't know anything about it. After about 5 minutes of these kids doing nothing but fussing at and belittling each other, we took it out of the machine and NEVER let the kids watch that show again. I tried, when the kids were little to not let them watch stuff that gave them any idea that what they were seeing was ANY way to treat family members or anyone else.

Same reason we never let them watch "The Simpsons". We tried watching it with the older boys when they were in middle school to see what it was all about. Two episodes of it were enough for me, and we didn't let them watch that anymore either. We just can't stand that continual bickering. I frankly think it's one reason why our kids didn't fight with each other all the time. I just flat didn't allow it. They could discuss the matter, but when the tone got ugly discussion was stopped because at that point nothing was going to get solved any way.

Yeah, I was a tyrant. That's what parents are for! ;o)

I can handle Rugrats okay in the 10 minute doses on TV. And they're always resolved within that time frame.

Sitting through a 2-hour movie was painful.

Speaking of movies of a certain sort...do you know by any chance if the Spongebob movie is out on video?

Yes. Recently I think. We haven't seen it.

"The Incredibles" is out next week.

This apartment a Spongebob-free zone.

But kid movies in general are welcome.

Hey, it's my apartment too! ;-)

But some things I just wouldn't watch without siblings, I don't think.

I shall have to hack the tv and make sure it can't play Spongebob.

At least without cable, there's no chance of accidentally running across that show.
