Thursday Thirteen (10th)


13 Things That Children Advise!


1. Never trust a dog to watch your food.

2. Never smart off to a teacher whose eyes and ears are twitching.

3. Wear a hat when feeding seagulls.

4. Don't flush the toilet when you dad's in the shower.

5. When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?"

don't answer him.

6. Don't pick on your sister when she's holding a baseball bat.

7. When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your mom when she's on the phone.

8. Never dare your little brother to paint the family car.

9. No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.

10. When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

11. Never ask your three-year old brother to hold a tomato.

12. Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

13. Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.

Hi Raggedy ~~ Great list of fun answers. I loved your tribute to your Mom and I hope she had a lovey day.
My mother would never tell her age until she hit 70 and then she was so proud of that. Sorry you miss your friend also, it is nice to remember them and happy times. Thanks for your comments. Have a great weekend that is
coming up. Take care, Hugs, Merle.

Great advise. Speaking for the follicly challenged I can attest to the wisdom of number 12. It's hard enough to get it to grow in the right places anyway. You never want to hear the word "oops" while getting your hair cut.
