Dear Optimists,
In Denmark we have to take lectures to learn how to do CPR and how to react when emergencies occur. If we don’t get a diploma, we can’t get our driver’s licence. A brilliant idea, if you ask me.
But when I was in 3rd grade, this wasn’t the normal procedure. Only a few people knew how to do it, and it was up to the parents to teach their children.
One day a radio show came to our school to find kids that knew how to do CPR.
I quickly raised my hand in eager, “I know CPR!”
The radio show host wanted to do an interview with me, since I appeared to be the only “enlightened” kid in class.
He started the interview, and came to the question: “So, how did you learn to do it?”
My answer was simple:
Donald Duck knows the answer to all of life’s questions, doesn’t he?
Love,
Nadia.

Not bad for a 3rd grader! 😉
Bet ya a dollar that I wouldn’t be able to do CPR anyway if needed at the time 😉
Right! The only time I did CPR correctly was at my “Forensics & Toxicology” clinical exam!
I was never taught, unfortunately. Other than what Donald taught me, that is.
But yay for doing it right at the exam! Hopefully, you’ll do it right again if needed 😉
Hehe … That’d put a smile on my face on a boring day.
Thanks namesister.
Yay, mission accomplished! 🙂
Smart and answer haha.. I love donald duck too!

Learning CPR before being allowed to get your drivers license is brilliant!!!!! I wish Canada did that. Maybe i’d remember the lessons I had in highschool if it came down to that…
I learned CPR to the rhythm of “Another One Bites the Dust”.
…My instructor enjoyed the irony of it, apparently.
Ha ha, that’s awesome! In Denmark they have told people to do it to the rythm of ‘Staying Alive’ 😀
