Wisdom from Winnie the Pooh

Winnie the Pooh is another character, along with Micky Mouse, whom I don't especially care for. But I do like a little quote from him (I'm not sure if Winnie the Pooh is a girl or a boy, but we will call it a him) that I think I might put on the wall in Penelope's room. It reads:

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

So, since I didn't remember exactly how it went, I had to Google it. And, while Googling, I came across this inspiring quote, also by Winnie the Pooh:

“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.”

Umm.....say what?

“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.”

Huh?

“You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn't spell it right; but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.”

I just keep re-reading it, hoping I get the point. So far I think it means if you can spell the word Tuesday you are awesome, but if you spell it wrong, you're awesome too.

Good to know. We can only dream that one day Penelope will be as wise as Winnie the Pooh.

  1. Tuesday is only really important on Tuesday. Have you read AA Milne? I would suggest it. He is the pooh author. He has some great poems--when we were young and now we are six. Fabulous stuff.
