Illustrator Irina Larina will tell you this morning story. Children have certain rituals that do not change from generation to generation. Here, for example, is a variant of reconciliation. Recently, the son came from the kindergarten, cheated, broke a flower pot, hit his little sister, threw a tantrum, for which, of course, he received a scolding. The worst thing for a child is when he is ignored, even 10 minutes can not stand. I didn’t speak to him so that he would understand the mistake. The son was spinning around me, "mamal", after fifteen minutes he stretches out his little finger. "Come on," he says, "make up." Well, then I melted: "Come on," - I answer. You know how it happens. People cross their little fingers and repeat a rhyme like a spell. My son read this: "Make up, make up. Don't fight anymore. If you fight, I will bite. And bite has nothing to do with it, We will fight with a brick. We do not need a brick, Let's make friends with you!" In our childhood it was the same, only with a different ending, the last two lines sounded like this: "And the brick breaks, friendship begins." In general, we made up, and I wondered how all these children's jokes, jokes, rhymes and so on, wander around kindergartens for decades, remaining in the memory of the whole country. It's hard to imagine how many kids and adults made up thanks to this rhyme. Thousands of them, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands. I want to believe that in 100 years, the best way to reconcile with a kindergartener will be crossed little fingers and a joint reading of this naive, but very touching rhyme.
