Lessons learned from Christmas - a la The Things

[Bob Peale]

Identical toys aren’t the same to identical twins.

A toy worth playing with is a toy worth mentioning…over and over and over again.

Tall sturdy toys placed under the thermostat is a a temperature adjustment waiting to happen.

If the thermostat is going to be broken, the odds of breaking it after setting it at 30 are much higher during the winter than during the summer.

It’s amazing what you’ll pay to have a thermostat repaired when it’s stuck on 30 in December.

“Projectile” is relative – if you can lift it, you can launch it.

The most breakable toy is always the favorite.

Two year olds aren’t very good at discerning between food and toys that look like food.

Two year old teeth are stronger than they look.

Unwrap the boring stuff first if you want to finish by Easter.

Any present still wrapped is fair game.

That is the truth! And mine arent even 17 yet. But gosh,you'd think by the ages of 11,9,7 they would know that you cannot get a 11 year what you bought the 7 year old....sigh.

My daughter is 13, my son is 5 and she did the same thing. Maybe it's just daughters?


Bob, another post that left me giggling.
Thanks.

Uh, just an advance warning........ two year olds are quite capable of breaking apart anything glued with superglue.
