Random Tips for Living, Part 4

Parent Tip: Do not leave a toddler unattended with a banana. Or blueberries. Unless you like cleaning them out of upholstery.

Church Tip: Do not sing the hymn There’s a New Name Written Down in Glory with young boys. They tend to be competitive, so the “And it’s mine” part degrades into an argument about whose it really is.
“No, it’s mine!”
“Is not!”
“I had it first!”
etc.

Husband Tip: If you’re unloading the dishwasher and you don’t know where the item goes, it is perfectly acceptable to put it in the drying rack on the sink and move to the next item.

Parent Tip: If your pre-schooler asks for a bowl of Lucky Charms, give him only a dozen pieces at a time. He can get the next dozen pieces after he has eaten all of the current pieces. If you don’t run breakfast this way, he will have eaten a bowl of marshmallows and you will be left with a bowl of plain cereal pieces.

He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

    Evan and I will have to share the Lucky Charms together in the shed. My wife doesn’t allow them in the house.

  2. Some Guy Says:

    So who gets the marshmallows – you or Evan?

  3. Ricky Anderson Says:

    When he can take me, he can take the marshmallows.
