WORDS OF WISDOM FROM CHILDREN
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your mom is mad at your dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second
person.
4) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
5) Reading what people write on desks can teach you a lot.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) School lunches stick to the wall.
8) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
9) The best place to be when you are sad is in Grandma's lap.
10) When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?" Don't answer
him.
11) Never tell your mom her diet's not working.
12) If you want a kitten, start out by asking for a horse.
13) When you get a bad grade in school, show it to your mom when she's on
the phone.

7) School lunches stick to the wall.
American cafeteria lunches contain a lot of starch. They usually have "sticky"
foods like creamed corn, gravies, puddings, cobbler desserts, etc. American
kids are mischievous. When they throw the food around (food fight), it will
stick to the wall. Not something kids would try at home.
8) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
White shorts (short pants) have a way of being rather translucent (see-through)
. Wearing polka-dot underwear will most definitely be visible through the
white pants, and leave the wearer open to teasing and ridicule.
