Summer Lessons Ch. 7

45. Two years old is not too young to be a con artist.

46. One of the best ways to spend a summer afternoon is hanging out with a great friend from college, ordering take out and chatting while your little girls nap.

47. Dora band aids are magical.

48. When you decide to take a nap when your child does, the most you can hope for is a hour and half nap but if you decide to get some stuff done and then realize you don't really have time to fall asleep before she wakes up, she will manage to sleep for 3 hours. Then you'll be annoyed that you totally could've slept anyhow but didn't, especially when this happens repeatedly.

49. Wasps really do chase people not just in cartoons. (No one was hurt but I was actually sitting on the sidewalk laughing so hard!)

50. You realize that you're not getting enough relaxation time when you have to clean out the dustbunnies from your bathtub before you can take a bath. Please note that we have a stand alone shower, we do bathe daily!

51. You simply can't have a bad day when it starts by being served Starbucks in bed.

52. Husbands don't get enough credit for putting up with us while we're pregnant.

53. They make giant reeses peanut butter cups. These were invented for pregnant women.

54. You can't use your teacher voice at the park to yell at little brats for using foul language while they're arguing about how Hannah Montana hates Spongebob and wants to kill him. Even if you're pretty sure their parents just dropped them at the park and took off.

55. Your kid will rat you out for ordering brownies for breakfast at Starbucks. Actually, your kid will rat you out for everything.

56. Clorox anywhere spray is my best friend.

57. Just because you're a teacher does not mean that you can teach your own child everything. Private swim lessons are very much worth the money.
