Yo, Philly in the News
This week’s quote comes from the song “Happiness” from You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. There is actually a litany of things that happiness is in that song, but our favorite lyric is:
HAPPINESS IS TWO KINDS OF ICE CREAM.
KNOWING A SECRET.
CLIMBING A TREE.
HAPPINESS IS FIVE DIFFERENT CRAYONS.
CATCHING A FIREFLY.
SETTING HIM FREE.
