Please Don’t Eat the Daisies

Do you remember The TV Show

Do you remember The Movie

or the book? Humorous quotes from the book

There is a review of the book on a blog about books.

If not, then you are younger than my generation.

As a young Mom I named our new puppy (an Olde English Sheepdog) Daisy. Are you surprised? She looked a lot like the Daisy in the TV show. She was goofy and we loved her for many years. As my daughters grew, Daisy’s fur soaked up a lot of tears. I will tell you some of her antics as time goes on.

I’m betting that daisies really do not taste good. Never tried them myself. Let me know if you have.

    Oh my goodness, that is one of the earliest TV shows that I remember as a child. Being the ornery youngster that I was, I of course HAD to eat some daisies. I remember eating the really tiny ones that you find in lawns. I don’t remember how they tasted but boy oh boy do I remember the spanking that I got! It was also one of my mother’s favorite books. I remember it’s prominent place in the living room bookshelf. Unfortunately, my brother did not share the sentiment and it was one of the many books that he had hauled to the dump after her death.
    Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

    [...] with writer’s block, I could tap into Val’s post on Literary Finds and the post Please Don’t Eat the Daisies. Those posts might inspire me to think and write about classic books, the books that I grew up with [...]

    Well, I remember seeing the movie with my parents at a drive-in theater. It was great fun. I might have even read the book years later. Never saw the TV show, though.

    Hmmm… never tried eating daisies. I’ve eaten “sour grass” (oxalis) and dandelion, and even violets and nasturtiums, but not daisies. I do have daisies blooming at the moment, but I think I’ll leave them for the rabbits to munch on. ;)

    My five year old daughter tried daisies the other day. She did not spit them out again but I guess it wasn’t her favorite either… ;-)

    I LOVE THAT MOVIE! I am a huge Doris Day fan I and would rewind some songs over and over again. If only movies were still that good!
