I may not know time, but I know when all my favorite tv shows are on.
My friendships can be broken and mended without
parental involvement.
Sometimes, parents have more fun then the kids at parties, amusement parks and other events.
Know how to push your parents’ buttons.
Five servings a day can consist of pizza, ice cream, french fries, fruit juice (or soda) and cookies.
Clothing should be optional.
Never tell me anything you don't want me to repeat in public.
Parents need to be better listeners too!
Parents make a big deal of little things.
You can never have too much candy.
It's ok to eat the same thing for lunch for a year.
A nickel is worth more than a dime because it's bigger.
A messy room has character.
There is a McDonald's restaurant wherever you go.
Why do you need to know how to tie your laces, when there are velcro straps on your shoes?
The best part of birthday parties are the party favors.
It's much easier to wake up early on weekends, then weekdays.
Scarves, gloves, hats, and sometimes jackets will get lost at school.
Fish are friends, but they die too soon.
The telephone is our enemy.
Five minutes is a long time to wait.
Brushing your teeth should not take longer than 30 seconds.
The response to "How was your day?" will almost always be "Good."
Why should bread have crust?
You don't need to use the bathroom until you're out of the house or in the car.
Keys, credit cards, and cell phones like to play hide and seek.
Green colored food is yucky.
Last, but not least, you can never get too many hugs or kisses throughout the day.
