While driving my youngest kiddos to school this morning, I learned some interesting tidbits about hippies.

• Stevie Wonder sounds like a hippie from his music.
• Five for Fighting, not so much.  Although the song “Superman” is weird too.
• Boy hippies have long hair.
• Girl hippies can have long or short hair.
• All hippies wear beads in their hair.
• Hippies love peace signs, the Beatles, and neon tie dye.
• Hippies live in small houses with no electricity, or no houses at all.
• Hippies living arrangement cause them to use newspapers for blankets.

I’m not quite sure where these tidbits were picked up.  As far as I know, their exposure to hippies has been limited to the Gordon Korman book, Schooled which we read for  family book club last summer.  I guess I need to spend more time with the cool kids for a better education!
