********************************************************************************
When your mother is mad & asks you "Do I look stupid?", it's best not to answer her.
Meghann, age 13
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You shouldn't stand in a bucket of water and touch an electric fence just because your brother tells you to.
Melissa, age 13
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Parents don't get enough appreciation.
Susanna, age 17
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If your mom picks your clothes and you dislike them, tell her they don't fit.
Christie, age 12
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Everytime I am at home & I am getting on my parents' nerves, they wish I were at camp. And everytime I am at camp and nothing's bothering them, they miss me.
Ashley, age 12
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My grandmother can say more in a sentence than a college professor can say in an hour and a half.
Angela, age 14
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You should never pick on your sister when she has a baseball bat in her hands.
Joel, age 12.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I can remember what flavour of ice-cream cone my grandmother & I shared at Disneyland; but, most of the time, I can't remember what day it is. I guess it depends on what you think is important.
Katherine, age 13
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. Parents always catch the second person.
Michael, age 10
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If mom says "no", she means it. If dad says "no", it means maybe.
Joseph, age 13
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It isn't the best thing to dump a bowl of ice-cream over your brother's head -- no matter how mad you are.
Laura, age 12
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When you mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair.
Morgan, age 11.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once you've lost your parents' trust, it's hard to earn it back.
Kara, age 13
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
One of the greatest feelings in the world is the feeling you get when your little sister shows that she admires you.
Dawn, age 14
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Despite all the loving and caring relationships in the world, there is nothing more loving than the feel of my mother's hand on my forehead when I am sick.
Rosemary, age 17.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Parents should come with instructions.
Shanna, age 14.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's not always easy being a kid, but I bet its even harder being an adult.
Julie, age 11.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
