Lessons Learned From My Kids

~Everything is better with cheese.   Really.  Even broccoli.

~Wear underwear at dinner.  Then somebody else might help you finish the stuff you don't like.  

~Don't mind the bullies.  They either don't know you or were hurt badly by somebody else, sometimes both.  The only emotion worth having towards them is pity.  

~Be nice to grandma.  (Even if she is your mother-in-law.)  I know.  Rough lesson to learn.

~Don't fight!

~Ninjas can kill anything.  Because they are fast. 

~Lots and lots of info about cheetahs.  Which I have ironically forgotten right now.  Maybe I didn't actually learn that.  But they are fast also, like ninjas. 

~Nobody really deserves to get what they deserve.  Mercy is much nicer.

~A good hug solves almost any problem.

~Getting teeth sucks.

~The right shoe can make you faster.  

~The best Christmas present ever: a harmonica.  (Maybe this depends who you ask.)

~If you don't wear your underwear out in public- most people WON'T notice.  Hmmm...

~If you have curly hair, you can get away with just about anything, because somebody will think you are cute no matter how rude you are being.  

~You will never look better in spandex than you do at the age of two.  And you can rock that skin tight look with a belly that hangs over your pants.  When you are two.  Sadly this is an age sensitive one. 

~Babies are always a blessing. 

~Whoever is most persistent will win.  Intelligence, looks, education, all are not quite as important as persistence.  (If you combine persistence with curly hair, you may end up with a problem.  A screaming problem.)

~A kind word turneth away wrath.

~Forgive quickly.  Forget always.  Families are forever.
