10 Great Truths Adults Have Learned About Life

[Marcel in Longueuil]

1. Raising teenagers is like nailing JELLO to a tree.

2. There is always a lot to be thankful for if you take time
to look for it. For example, I am sitting here thinking
how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

3. One reason to smile is that every seven minutes of every
day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.

4. The best way to keep kids at home is to make the home a
pleasant atmosphere and let the air out of their tires.

5. Car sickness is the feeling you get when the monthly car
payment is due.

6. Families are like fudge .. mostly sweet with a few nuts.

7. Laughing helps. It's like jogging on the inside.

8. My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves
completely.

9. If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the
facts.

10. You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your
shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're down
there.

I love all of these except number four.

I have 3 kids at home 26, 25 and 23.
I have been told

1. increase the rent
2. stop cooking with cheese
3. play Gilbert and Sullivan show tunes
4. disconnect the internet.....not going to happen

And finally if all else fails, become nudists and invite the kids down for breakfast.
No frying bacon, strictly cold cereal and milk.


those are hilarious as usual Marcel. You do have a sense of humour
