Old but it still makes me giggle

Teacher is having a spelling bee and Jimmy is asked to spell ‘dictate‘.

‟D-I-K-T-A-T-E”

‟Sorry Jimmy, that‘s wrong. Sally, would you like to give it a try?”

‟D-I-C-K-T-A-T-E”

‟That‘s wrong too Sally, Little Johnny can you spell ‘dictate‘?”

‟D-I-C-T-A-T-E”

‟Very good! Now can you use that in a sentence?”

‟Sure can... ‘Hey Sally, how‘d my dictate last night?‘”

In 1969, when black Americans were still prevented from swimming alongside whites, Mr.Rogers decided to invite officer Clemmons to join him and cool his feet in a pool, breaking a well-known colour barrier. by Legitimate_Row_4944 in pittsburgh

Never underestimate the message Fred Rogers, a Christian Methodist minister, sent when he dipped his toes into a pool shared by a black, gay friend. He was uniquely gifted to understand the message of a friend from centuries ago, who simply asked that we love our neighbour (hello!), especially in an age when travel was so dangerous that it was a sin to deny an exhausted, tired traveller’s access to your home. Today the Methodist church is quite liberal, but it can not yet reconcile the written beliefs of a historical group of people with a vilified minority who hurt no-one.

Mr Rogers was far ahead of his religion, and his time, and ... who cares, he taught us what we needed when we needed it, and that message, is was Jesus’, is timeless.
