I mean, what is “happy”? How are you defining it? Is it the feeling I get from drinking apple juice, playing tag, or nap time? I’m sure by some definition I am happy, but even then, is anyone really so aware of their own feelings as to know it? And then, what if clapping makes me unhappy, teacher? What paradoxical hell will I be stuck in then?! I’ll stick with playing with the blocks, thank you.

And for me in general, one of my favorite CDs to play for the kids was their “No!” CD. Definitely worth checking out.
