10 Kid Lessons

My kids have been in heavy-duty teaching mode lately. They don’t realize it, but they teach me something new every day. Here are some lessons gleaned from this week.

  1. What’s inside doesn’t matter – when it comes to gifts. Just as with wrapping paper on Christmas morning, plastic Easter eggs are more fun than the candy or toys inside of them.
  2. The best place to go to sleep is on the living room floor – as long as you have someone to carry you to bed.
  3. Reality TV can be a bonding tool. This week, we have spent quality family time watching “American Idol,” “Dancing with the Stars,” and “Jon & Kate plus Eight.” They are entertaining, educational, and good for the whole family.
  4. There is a good reason to pick your nose – there are boogers in there.
  5. Sonic sucks.
  6. Plantains are a perfectly pleasant piece of produce.
  7. Luscious, expensive German chocolate eggs really are better than Cadburys.
  8. Opening a door can be the highlight of your day if done with enthusiasm.
  9. Drinking anything out of a wine glass makes you feel special.
  10. And Lastly…Saying “Knock, Knock” makes our dog bark – this is the lesson I could have done without.
