Lessons from my Children or Why Did I Bother Going to College

Lessons I've learned from my children over the last eight years

1. Soup always tastes better in a coffee cup.
2. You only need to sucker one parent for a new kitten if the other is out shopping all day.
3. Sugar cereal is always better even if Rice Krispies make noise. Noise is not cooler than sugar.
4. One more good night kiss buys you 5 more minutes.
5. Sesame Street is still funny.
6. 35 is too old for pig tails.
7. Done with a smile, even pure naughtiness can be tolerated.
8. The best part about banks is the sucker.
9. Smelly stickers never get old.
10. Grilled cheese sandwiches and smiley face fries should be on the adult menu.
11. PJs should be worn all day once a week.
12. Stop eating when you are full.
13. Eat the best part first.
14. There is always room for ice cream because it melts in your stomach.
15. Play hard.
16. Sometimes it's best not to listen.
17. Cry if someone will listen. Suck it up if no one is there.
18. Run so fast you fall down in the grass.
19. Open the door like you mean it. Make an entrance.
20. Say I love you whenever in doubt.
21. Shove the cookie in your mouth as you run away with it. Don't wait to eat it.
22. Cat videos on YouTube are always funny.
23. Body parts that squirt are nature's toys.
