Things I Have Learned

Don’t take a walk after a large glass of tea If someone says, “sure take as many as you want” They probably don’t mean it Darling you are sooo sweet I could never get angry with you,,,okay this one is self explanatory One size fits all-ohh puleeese Help yourself to anything in the kitchen,,I really thought I meant it Going 65 through a curve marked for 45 is just stupid, but exciting Feelings are fickle When in doubt, a sincere look and slow shake of the head seems intelligent It will only take a minute,,,,yeah well Im countin by the long hand not the short one If you climb that high are you sure you can get down, sure on the way Up is different then sure at the top Being really cold and getting into a hot shower and feeling The warm water melt through you is better than sex,,,,okay its been a long time The second time around is better It will only hurt for a minute, then let me pinch you until it stops Make up covers a world of hurt, but then it goes in the cracks and your Face looks like a drought hit it Friends that will laugh with you, cry with you, and never give up on you are ~priceless~ Wisdom comes from practice not from age A good mood is a choice, okay most of the time A snack to a teenager can be the roast you cooked for dinner When you fuss at your kid then sit down and find no Toilet paper,,,,there’s a problem

Oh my, the truth is hilarious! so very well written and premeditated...lol, If I had to pick a favorite I'd say"When you fuss at your kid then sit down and find no Toilet paper,,,,there’s a problem" just because I have seen just about every kind of rebellion with my three children (now grown) this is classic!
