Deep Thoughts

Do you remember the Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey skit on SNL?  If you don't then you either aren't old enough to remember or weren't allowed to watch SNL.  Remember those days when SNL was the "iffy" show.  Yeah, that ship has sailed.  My kids watch all kinds of crazy stuff from YouTube and the Cartoon Network that I swear someone is truly eating the "good" mushrooms.

I digress, my reason for bringing it up was those deep thoughts were so goofy and not really deep thoughts and I thought (deeply) that I have a few of those I could write.  Here goes:

• If you're kid says, "Hey Mom, watch this", you probably don't want to watch it and you may want to duck or brace for impact
• If you think what it looks like means it probably smells bad, then go with that gut feeling.  No need for the sniff test
• If it's hard to put on the 1st leg, don't bother with the 2nd, it really won't get easier
• Some things are best left unsaid.  If that's the case let your kiddo be the one to break the news.  They bounce back much faster
• Teaching your kids to start a fire and keep it going will only improve your chances of surviving the apocalypse
• If someone said your kid was "good" or a "natural" at something doesn't mean that they will be an olympic star and all the sacrifices will be worth it.  Don't get a big head about it.  Let the kid have fun at being a "natural", that's it
• Everything tastes better that's been cooked on an open fire.  EVERYTHING!
• 2 boys + water = someone else is wet

That's it for now.
