DON'T FEEL SO BAD

If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT!

  1. You spend the first two years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up.

  2. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your own children.

  3. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their young.

  4. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said.

  5. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.

  6. We childproofed our homes, but they are still getting in.

    ADVICE FOR THE DAY: Be nice to your kids. They will choose your nursing home one day.


    AND FINALLY:

    IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF TENSION AND YOU GET A HEADACHE, DO WHAT IT SAYS ON THE ASPIRIN BOTTLE:

    "TAKE TWO ASPIRIN" AND "KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN"!!!!!

Humbug.
