When Meghan was little, she attended a daycare that regularly took the kids for walks around the surrounding neighborhood. We were unaware of one ritual, until a few years later, when Meg was reminiscing about these walks with Miss Jen, the daycare teacher.
"I miss saying 'Hi' to the Inja Turdles, " she announced when she was about 6 years old.
Further explanation revealed her fond memories of a great preschool teacher, who nurtured the kids' imaginations, even with really mundane daily surroundings such as storm sewers.
It became a ritual that we continue to this day.
