carrinevie Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Here you go girls .... GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: 1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats. 2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair. 3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person. 4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato. 5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food. 6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair. 7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time. 8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. 9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts. 10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap. GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED: 1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree. 2) Wrinkles don't hurt. 3) Families are like fudge..mostly sweet, with a few nuts. 4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground. 5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside. 6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy. GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD 1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. 2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get. 3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there. 4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. 5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions. 6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician. 7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE: 1) You believe in Santa Claus. 2) You don't believe in Santa Claus. 3) You are Santa Claus. 4) You look like Santa Claus. SUCCESS: At age 4 success is . . . not piddling in your pants. At age 12 success is . . . having friends. At age 17 success is . having a drivers license. At age 35 success is . . having money. At age 50 success is .. . having money. At age 70 success is . .. .. having a drivers license. At age 75 success is . . having friends. At age 80 success is . . not piddling in your pants. __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 My favourites for old age are: With age comes wisdom. Then all your teeth fall out and Everyone else my age is an adult, whereas I am merely in disguise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnaMariaPetra Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi girls! If I had went into the garden today I would have been soaken wet! Emma is in bed already, after a fresh shower. Merel has also taken a bath and washed her long hair. I made braids (?) in it, about 10, and now she is brushing her teeth. I will go to her in a minute and read her a bedtime-story.
