My Great Grandfather 'GRAMPS' born in 1875,
said my thumb was called a THINKING FINGER
and it was named this long before it was called just a thumb.


Gramps said that every time he hit his THINKING FINGER (thumb) with a hammer
it made him then think long and harder the next time he did something without thinking first.

MODERN Jungian ARCHETYPE for the records

A NEW ARCHETYPE THAT PSYCHOLOGISTS CAN ADD TO THEIR DARN BOOKS OF KNOW IT ALLS ... TOOK ME UNTIL I WAS OVER 50 TO FIND THIS MY EARLY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF WHY I'M SCREWY!

picture below: Jungian archetype of the modern kind

It's NOT a wonder I'm writing on the CONCRETE cognition of childhood!!

CLOSEST TO MY MEMORY OF THE MIXER DAD HAD IN THE CONCRETE AREA
AT THE FOLK'S
GREENHOUSES GROWING UP


ADD A GUY NAMED 'DON' IN CHARGE THAT HAD A DAUGHTER NAMED 'DONNA' THAT sometimes CAME AND PLAYED

IN my 3 brothers and my HUGE HUGE SANDPILES, with nearby water, dirt piles, bags of concrete stacked up like stairways for kids, building roads in dirt piles, squirting obnoxious little brothers with hoses in the green house that was temperature controlled all year (summer was a wee bit hot) ... my POOR PARENTS WERE TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS


WE NEEDED MOVIE CAMERA TO RECORD OUR CHILDHOODS IN THE 1950'S IT WOULD HAVE HELPED BETTER THAN TRYING TO FIND OLD EARLY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES LAYERED OVER BY CRAPPY SILT OF DECADES!!


... I SHOULD BE FREUD IT TOOK ME LONG ENOUGH TO PUT THE DARN PUZZLE PIECES OF WHY I
call mental confusion with the adult word STRESS
... see above archetype (think it was yellow)

**that above yellow thing was really noisy

** When I was helping my dad at age 70 plus with his blasted concrete projects, I finally get a compliment at the age of 52 about making a good batch of concrete .. if i would have remembered my childhood then I would have used the making pancakes analogy for my abilities to mix concrete mix, sand and water together, I would have told him I spent my formative years watching Don at the greenhouses!! Too late for some things ... at least I have a sense of humor that was lost for a few decades and now found again.
