thursday thirteen
Thirteen things I learned after having kids!

1. Glitter was quite possibly created by the Devil.
2. It is possible for a child to tumble down a flight of steps and not hurt a single part of their body.
3. A teenager can say I love you and I hate you within a minute of each other and mean both.
4. A child can live on pizza and potato chips for a week.
5. Backpacks last only two months before ripping apart.
6. Pokemon cards multiply when no one is looking.
7. Money talks at any age.
8. Any lunchboxes left at school for more than a month should NOT be opened when returned home.
9. Graham crackers can be dipped in water and still eaten.
10. Nickelodeon shows are genius or idiotic or both.
11. Extra cash may be demanded if the toothfairy forgets to show.
12. Sand can take days and days to come out of hair.
13. Ketchup is a vegetable if you want it to be badly enough.

Glitter was not made by the Devil, it IS the Devil reincarnated!!!

Great list, have a great TT and a very Merry Christmas!

This is a great list. Your teachers are beautiful. I agree about the glitter stuff. Funny thing though–most of the Christmas cards we have right now are covered with the stuff. Must be a conspiracy….

My Thursday Thirteen #5

My son has rolled down the stairs a number of times and has never been hurt. I don’t know how he does it.

The same son though hates all things tomato so ketchup is not a staple of his diet.

Happy TT.

I loved the Pokemon comment. So true. It happens to other types of toys as well, I find….

Hootin' Anni 20/12/07 - 7:05 am

2, 3 and 4!! The best. I’m a gramma myself, but I think if I could get by with it health-wise, I could live off pizza too. LOL

Happy 13ing.

Rian Fike 20/12/07 - 11:26 am

Brilliant stuff!

I know the devil personally, and he did invent glitter.

On a Limb with Claudia 20/12/07 - 12:02 pm

It is amazing how much glitter I could get on myself while working in the floral department of A Certain Store.

This was a fun list. :)

My TT was about the solstice this week.

Grace 30/12/07 - 4:31 am

I agree with everything on this list! But kids are awesome addition to our lives, aren’t they?
