I looked through a backlog of emails and found these.
One evening a preschooler and her parents were sitting on the couch chatting.She turned to her father and asked,
"Daddy, you're the boss of the house, right?"
Her father proudly replied, "Yes, I am the boss of the house."
The little girl added "'Cause Mommy put you in charge, huh, Daddy?"
The teacher noticed that Jimmy had been daydreaming for a long time. She decided to get his attention.
"Jimmy," she said, "If the world is 25,000 miles around and eggs are sixty cents a dozen, how old am I?
"Thirty-four," Jimmy answered without hesitating.
The teacher replied "Well, that's not far from my actual age. Tell me... ...how did you guess?"
"Oh, there's nothing to it," Jimmy said. "My big sister is seventeen and she's only half-crazy."
Really Important Things My Children Have Taught Me . . .- It's more fun to color outside the lines.
- If you're going draw on the wall, do it behind the couch.
- Ask why until you understand.
- Hang on tight.
- Even if you've been fishing for 3 hours and haven't gotten anything except poison ivy and a sunburn, you're still better off than the worm.
- Make up the rules as you go along.
- It doesn't matter who started it.
- Ask for sprinkles.
- If the horse you're drawing looks more like a dog, make it a dog.
- Save a place in line for your friends.
- Sometimes you have to take the test before you've finished studying.
- If you want a kitten, start out asking for a horse.
