555.0. "Valuable parenthood lessons :)" by ANGLIN::SEITZ (A Smith & Wesson beats 4 Aces.) Fri Jul 16 1993 13:33

    Hi,
    
    Boy, I learned a VALUABLE lesson last night: never hold your baby while
    they eat their first popsicle!
    
    Isn't it amazing all of the things you learn  through parenthood that
    you would never even have thought of otherwise :)

Try to hold off teaching them that the truck that rides by the house every night
playing music sells ice cream!

    If you get snookered into buying them cotton candy, get it as you're 
    *leaving* the carnival (circus,whatever).  Unless everybody wants to
    spend the whole afternoon as sticky as a no-pest strip....

555.3No food in the car!SALES::LTRIPPFri Jul 16 1993 14:356
    Don't do cereal in the car unless you've go a vacume that plugs into
    the cigarette lighter, AND you have a pack of Wet Ones AND window
    cleaner for when you arrive at your destination!
    
    (which doesn't get any better with age, he's 6.5 and my car is still
    like and overgrown Honeynut Cherios box!)

555.5Don't give away your secrets!BCSE::WEIERPatty, DTN 381-0877Mon Jul 26 1993 16:276
    NEVER admit how you "know something" about what they're doing ....
    Like when you know they're filling up the squirt gun to shoot their
    brother again because you can hear the water in the bathroom .... ?
    I always just tell them I'm magic, and besides, I'm the Mommy and I
    know EVERYTHING about what they do - it makes them think twice about
    misbehaving.  
555.6I'm good!SALES::LTRIPPThu Jul 29 1993 14:4710
    Patty, my twist on that one is "I'm the mommy, and I know everything
    you do, so don't even try to get away with it"!
    
    So what does he answer?
    
    Yup mom, I KNOW that!
    
    (grrrr, ya got to love a kit with a quick wit!)

555.7Valuable lesson, close the doorNETWKS::COZZENSThu Aug 19 1993 17:006
    I learned a valuable lesson on child proofing the house the hard way. 
    I didn't close the bathroom door and my daughter decided to try and
    pull herself up on the side of the tub.  Well, she fell in, head first. 
    What a scream.  Good thing there wasn't any water in there.
