“Please give peace a chance!”

Special thanks to Mo, the brilliant force behind Manic Monday, for choosing “PEACE” to be this weeks theme and for the pretty cool MM Peace globe, which I “borrowed” from him - and to Mimi for creating the 3rd Blogblast for peace. Get your Peace Globe today!

Back in 19something…
School was out 4ever… we were celebrating our very last day at school. The Abitur (diploma from German secondary school for university admission or matriculation) exams were about to start the next week. It´s a German tradtion to celebrate this very last day @ school with a blast. The graduated plan this special day for many many weeks. They make plans to disturb the lessons, so the other little students will get a day off to celebrate with the seniors.
We´ve been a class of rebels. The teachers were full of fear. They trembled with fear, racking their brains about what our plans could be. MUAHAHAHAAAA!

Well, what can I say… our last day at school was a huge surprise for everyone (especially the teachers) .
Our last day at school was a blast. A blast for peace - themed:

“Please give peace a chance!”

Everyone was dressed in a self-created Flower Power dress. We´ve planted a tree in the school´s inner countryard - with an engraved plate showing our names and the motto. Our “disturbing noise” was all of us singing John Lennon´s “Give peace a chance”:

“Two, one, two, three, four

You see, even the worst rebels were longing for peace… and they still are ;)
Today, I´m a lucky mommy to Luis, many of my former dreams came true - many others didn´t. But one of my dreams is still up-to-date and will always be:

“Please give peace a chance!”

xoXOxo,

And now…
… our moment of Homer J.:

Homer: Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It’s what separates us from the animals … except the weasel.
