IMPORTANT STUFF THE KIDS HAVE TAUGHT ME

I can't claim credit for this list - it came to me as an email from a friend years ago, but I came across it again and thought it's still funny and appropriate so here goes.........



  • It's more fun to color outside the lines.

  • If you're gonna draw on the wall, do it behind the couch.

  • Ask why until you understand.

  • Hang on tight.

  • Even if you've been fishing for 3 hours and haven't gotten anything except poison ivy and a sunburn, you're still better off than the worm.

  • Make up the rules as you go along.

  • It doesn't matter who started it.

  • Ask for sprinkles.

  • If the horse you're drawing looks more like a dog, make it a dog.

  • Save a place in line for your friends.

  • Sometimes you have to take the test before you've finished studying.

  • If you want a kitten, start out asking for a horse.

  • Picking your nose when no one else is looking is still picking your nose.

  • Just keep banging until someone opens the door.

  • Making your bed is a waste of time.

  • There is no good reason why clothes have to match.

  • Even Popeye didn't eat his spinach until he absolutely had to.

  • If your dog doesn't like someone, you probably shouldn't either.

  • Toads aren't ugly, they're just toads.

  • Don't pop someone elses' bubble.

  • You work so hard peddling up the hill that you hate to brake on the way down.

  • If you stand on tiptoe to be measured this year, you'll have to stand on tiptoe for the rest of your life.

  • You can't ask to start over just because you're losing the game.

  • Chasing the cat is more fun than catching it.

  • Make your mother proud of you.
