Life’s Lessons Learned

November 14, 2008 by Life in the Highlands

Here’s a few things to think about:

If a teenager drives 50 mph in a residential zone; forgets to use his signal at every turn; and leaves the window rolled down, the car unlocked, and the keys in the ignition when he stops to go into a restaurant–he shouldn’t have his younger brother and sister with him, because they will rat him out.

And, the police can pull over a car full of teenagers for not wearing seat belts. And even if the officer does not give them a ticket, their mother will most likely make them walk the 4 miles to school in the snow, uphill, both ways, if she hears about this happening again.

And, if certain kids have been grounded from their video game system (for an offense completely unrelated to the first two), they should wait until their parents are in bed to sneak it back downstairs. Or they might get caught. Okay, they most definitely will get caught.

And, on a completely different note but perhaps most importantly, it seems to be a universal truth that the cuter the shoe, the more uncomfortable it is. The more comfortable the shoe, the more clunky and ugly.

And, finally, Jack-O-Lanterns look more sinister two weeks after Halloween than they did for Trick-or-Treaters:

But through the pain, they keep on smiling. Have a happy weekend!

    I’m really NOT excited to have teenagers. Except that they are potty trained by then, and can brush their own teeth….that’s atleast something to look forward to.

    I’m digging your moldy pumpkins. Maybe they can come hang out with our moldy pumpkins and have a moldy pumpkin jamboree on our front porch. (Because you just can’t throw away pumpkins until they’ve had their jamboree.)
