THAT CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED

  • No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
  • When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

  • Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
  • You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
  • Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
  • Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
  • You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
  • Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE
THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED

  • Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.
  • Wrinkles don't hurt.
  • Families are like fudge . . . mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
  • Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
  • Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging, but on the inside.
  • Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.


GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD

  • Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
  • Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
  • When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're down there.
  • You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
  • It's frustrating when you know all the answers, but nobody bothers any more to ask you the questions.
  • Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
  • Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
