Lessons of Life

 

 

A red towel as a pretend cape,

A hearty �Up � Up � And Away!� yell,

Does NOT convince a sleeping dog that you are Superman,

And it should not attack you,

For using his tail as a launching pad into the sky.

 

Parents should ALWAYS ensure that the number of filled Christmas stockings should equal the number of children in the house.

 

No matter HOW MUCH your boss enjoys sailing, while in the middle of the ocean he does not enjoy getting messages on his pager reminding him of JAWS or GILLIGAN�S ISLAND.

 

That as a member of the sixth grade class,

On your birthday,

And the teacher states in a loud and clear voice,

�If I hear one more peep�!!!!�

NEVER EVER say �Peep!�

 

While Jesus may have display poor choice of friends in Judas,

There is always a plan,

Even if we don�t like the way it is proceeding,

And everyone has a role in it.

 

To paraphrase Red Skelton,

�I don�t hate my enemies,

After all, I made them.�

 

While feeling good about surviving a hurricane,

It is better feeling to rescue even a small kitten afterward.

 

No matter how loud the pastor preached in church,

Someone will always manage to fall asleep.

 

If your big brother says, �It�s alright!�

He says, �It�ll be ok!�

It usually means,

You�ll be the one who gets in trouble.

 

The number one rule,

Always have fun!

If you aren�t having fun,

Then you are doing it wrong.

 

Ten years ironing $20 military fatigues,

Does in no way qualify you to iron a $50 dress shirt even once.

 

Even though your father refers to you as �Jesus Christ�,

You are not the son of God.

 

If your friends jumped off a cliff would you do it?

Only after their third demonstration of it!

 

Life does not begin at conception,

Or at 3, 6 or 9 months,

Life begins with intent and decision.
