I was thinking today about "The List." You know, the one you make up when you're a teenager and know absolutely everything. The one where you just have to roll your eyes at people (in your mind, of course) as you see something that makes you add another item. I love that list. It shows me just how much I've matured. Here are some things that come to mind. Things I'd never do or say or be or whatever. I'll have to keep adding to it as more things pop up. Why don't you join in the fun and add to it too?
1) I'll never let my children run around with "worms" coming out their noses. (If you have a way to do this--besides having them stuff tissues into their nostrils--I'd love to be in on the secret.)
2) I'll never have children whose hair looks like it hasn't been combed in days. (I promise my children's hair is combed each and every day. I even squirt it with a spray bottle. I just don't think there's any hope while they still run around like dirt devils.)
3) I'll never have children who back talk. (Yes, it's true. And we're working hard on this one. I'm sure there are some children out there somewhere who love to listen to their parents and who never say anything with "the attitude." But I think Heaven must have been out of that model when my children were delivered.)
4) I'll never have a kid who has to have the crust cut off the bread. (Honestly, I think kids are prewired for this.)
5) to be continued . . . .
