Stuff you've learnt the hard way

When you are cleaning and your gloves are dripping with bleach, do not rub your nose. And if you do, don't inhale...

When slicing chili peppers, whatever you do, DO NOT scratch that itch at the corner of your eye . . .

About turning off the beaters before licking them...also:

Long hair and a hand held mixer do not...well, mix. Scissors are usually involved in the aftermath. If anyone else is present, snide remarks and video cameras too.

Fingers and beaters do not mix either.

You'd think I would learn.

Since we are talking about having to cut your hair.

Being 8 yrs old, DO NOT I repeat DO NOT decide to eat a blow-pop sucker while riding in the back of your dad's pick-up truck, even if your dad says it's ok. Unless you enjoy having your dad cut the sucker out of your hair with a pocket knife!!!!

oldies but goodies;

Do not try to make a ' real cast' for your legs, even if you have read All things bright and beautiful, and are smart enough to figure out how.

Do not twirl round brush in two feet of hair, in a attempt to give it body under a blow dryer

Piercings should always be done by a professional, esp body piercings.

Later in life;
Even if you do interval training every day, lift weights and ride as far as you can go on weekends, you will collapse and die before you get thighs like guys who ride the Tour De France

Oh my...I did this when I was four. My poor, poor mother. She didn't want to cut my beautiful long locks, so she painstakingly removed it strand by strand. We don't have any round brushes in the house now!

Dad wasnt too pleased! He spent hours!
