Spaceman

"What are you doing, Charlie Brown?"
"I'm a poor, lonesome cowboy."
"Why are you so lonesome, Charlie Brown?"
"Because all the other kids are playing Spaceman."
From Peanuts by Schulz

  1. Actually, I can sympathise with ole` Charlie Brown, as I was always out of kilter with the other kids games too!

    And far too small to be chosen by either side when it came to netball and the other games at school too!!!

    My response was to forge notes from my mother saying that I be excused from Gym.

    It was my way of opting out of the situation, and I became a master forger too!!!

    There are some consolations in being the outsider!!

    I eventually stopped trying to `fit in`, and enjoyed the differences!!

    Good ole Charlie Brown!
