“The other day, my nephew recited the old nursery rhyme: ‘Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water…’ I praised him, thinking that was the end of it — oh, how wrong I was. He paused, frowned, and asked, ‘Why did they go up the hill? Water runs downhill. Wouldn’t it have been easier to get it down here?’ Before I could answer, he added, ‘Do you think Jack got into the dentist right away?’ I blinked. ‘The dentist?’ ‘Well,’ he said matter‑of‑factly, ‘he’ll need his crown replaced.’ First graders are impossible to argue with.
We hope that, just like Jack and Jill, you’ll fall in love with our Nostalgic Tin Buckets and all their endless possibilities. Fill them with candy, treats, treasures — or your own stories.”
