Alternate Post: When Will I Ever Learn?
2nd Alternate Post: Dear Me....

When a small child yells "YEEEEEE-HAW" from another room, it's wise to act quicker when investigating. You're little ones really were paying attention at that rodeo you attended 6+ months ago. When the cat won't be tamed, you can still rope and ride the office chair.

There is such thing as tooooo much deodorant. A small child will teach you this, if left unattended with any brand or scent of body armor.

No matter how many times you remind your child to 'Flush and Wash' it will fall on deaf ears, until that ONE moment when the throne is destined to overflow. At which time, he {she} will remember the words of his mother and actually FLUSH. Don't worry though, there truly is NO dignified way to clean up such gross matter.

A ball point pen, out of sight is not out of mind -in a small childs eye. They will retrieve it and use it. Although lovely, their artwork is difficult to remove from your dining room table. It would be wise to put the pen in a safer place -just a thought.

That's all for now...I'm sure there will be more lessons to learn!
