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.
