John's weekend assignment #54

Weekend Assignment #54: Tell us all a single piece of wisdom you've learned from personal life experience. It can be a small thing, it can be a big thing, a simple tip or trick or the most important thing you've ever learned from life. But whatever it is, you should be able to state it in one sentence. That way people will remember it easier.

Extra Credit: Tell us: Would you have listened to your own bit of advice as a teenager? Be honest, now.



*******************************************************

I have not done an assignment in a long, long time for no appearent reason other than I can be lazy. They've all been wonderful and beyond me but this one is one that I can do!!

What line from my life do I choose? Well these are the runners up:

1. Shut up and dance.

2. Don't eat anything you found on the ground unless you saw it drop and it was there for less than five seconds.

3. Always hold a diaper OVER the baby when changing it, regardless of the baby's gender thank you very much.

4. Wash you hands after going to the bathroom.

5. Nothing is free and if it is it WILL break.

6. Garge sales always begin 1 hour earlier than your signs say they do.

7. You can't blame a knat for being a knat no more than you can blame a fly for being a fly.

8. If you want flies, stink.

9. A sign reading: Wet Paint really, truly means that there is wet paint nearby.

10. Don't waste your food, there are starving children in China.





But my choice for winner? (Any guesses?) Come on, someone ought to be able to guess.....

1A. Love one another.



The extra credit question....would I have done/believed any of that as a teenager?

Only 1, 4 and 1A...the rest are all tough lessons I had to learn. Especailly the diaper part as I have had a baby pee all over me. (Does "pee" violate any rules?)

    "Shut up and dance"--that one is full of possibility. Love it.
