Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family table at dinner time and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member. We listened to each other and the interest was not put on it was real.

I enjoy meeting not only contemporary children, but yesterday's children as well. It's nice to talk about the experiences we shared, they tell me, 'You were a good friend.' That's the warmest part.

Children don't drop out of high school when they are 16, they do so in the first grade and wait 10 years to make it official.

Let me introduce myself. My name is, uh, Kangaroo... Kangaroo - Captain Kangaroo ... I'm the keeper here of the Treasure House.

Generosity has built America. When we fail to invest in children, we have to pay the cost.

Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff.
