A little girl was overheard praying: "Lord, if You can't make me a better girl,
don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am!"

Never tell your mom her diet's not working.-Michael, Age 14

Things I've Learned From My Grandchildren
A 3 year-old's voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant.

ABOUT CEILING FANS
If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor is not strong enough to rotate a 42 pound boy wearing batman underwear and a superman cape.
It is strong enough, however, to spread paint on all four walls of a 20 by 20 foot room.
When using the ceiling fan as a bat, you have to throw the ball up a few times before you get a hit.
You should not throw baseballs up when ceiling fans are on.


When you hear the toilet flush and the words "uh-oh", it's already too late.

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq foot house, 4 inches deep.

No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool, you still can't walk on water.
Pool filters do not like Jell-O

Marbles in gas tanks make lots of noise when driving.


ABOUT WASHING MACHINES
The spin cycle on the washing machine does not make earth worms dizzy.
It will however, make cats dizzy.
Cats throw up twice their body weight when dizzy.

















Wise Advice From Kids
When your mom is mad at your dad, don't ler her brush your hair. Taylia age 11

If you want a kitten, start out by asking for a horse. Naomi age 15

When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your mom when she's on the phone. Alyesha age 13







I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.

I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8yr old again.

I want to go to McDonalds and think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes , but that didn't bother you because you didn't know what you didn't know and you don't care.

All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair. That everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again. I don't want my day to consist of computers crashing, mountains of paperwork, depressing news how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, and kind words, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind and making angles in the snow.

So...here's my checkbook, and my car keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements, I am officially resigning from adulthood.

And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause, "Tag! You're it".
