Twenty lessons my children have taught me.

1.    If you get food on your face or clothes, do not worry about it until the meal is over with. Or if you have to, try to lick it off with your tongue.

2.       If you need to shake up your life just get a cardboard box, and head into another world.


3.       What is the big deal if you mix the play dough colors? It is all play dough right?

4.       Sometimes talking from day to day gets boring, so just break out into a song.


5.       If you think you can jump from the top of the jungle gym to the bottom, do not think, just jump.

6.       Why stop with the paper when you can “accidentally” color your fingers also.


7.       There is no problem with dipping your carrots in ranch… and ketchup.

8.       New shoes? Or new mud jumpers?


9.       If a new type of bug looks interesting, by all means pick it up and take a closer look.

10.   Sometimes making new friends is as simple as saying, “Hey, want to play with me?”

11.   When you are trying to do something against the rules, just move really slow, then you appear invisible.

12.   Sometimes getting a good laugh is as easy as just putting a bucket on your head.

13.   It is okay to cry, even if for no reason at all.

14.   When your big brother or sister does something you are not happy with, sometimes you just need to scream. (I do not recommend this one).

15.   Even if somebody is mean to you, it does not make them a bad person.

16.   The worst word in the world is ‘stupid’.

17.   The best feeling in the world is simply sliding down a big slide.

18.   The second best feeling in the world is sliding down a little slide.

19.   You can say you are not tired a million times, but when you wake up from your nap you realize maybe you were wrong.

20.   There is no reason to hate and hold grudges, when you can just love everyone and everything so simply.
