    Never give up because life gets harder as you get older. After
    preschool the road of life keeps getting bumpier and bumpier and
    bumpier. -- Angela Martin, age 11

    Never blow in a cat's ear because if you do, usually after three or
    four times, they will bite your lips! And they don't let go for at least
    a minute. -- Lisa Coburn, age 9

    Don't think life is easy, because when you get older it is hard work.
    I used to think life was easy, now I have to do the dishes every other
    day. -- Nick Coleman, age 9

    Take risks. I mean, if you like this person and you don't know if they
    like you, ask them out and see what happens. I liked this girl and I
    asked her out. She said no and she hates me now, but I took that risk.
    -- Bruce Wagner, age 13

    A realist is more correct about things in life than an optimist. But
    the optimist seems to have more friends and much more fun. -- Megan,
    age 14

    The composition teacher asked the class to write about an unusual event
    that happened during the past week. Little Johnny got up and read his
    essay. It began: "Daddy fell into the well last week..." "My
    goodness!" the teacher exclaimed. "Is he all right?" "He must be,"
    said the boy. "He stopped yelling for help yesterday."

    Especially considering they've likely been playing "doctor" in there
    for years.

    They won't be allowed to use any kind of guns to do that, anymore.

    She's 100% right, you know!

    That's only true for the unbaptised cats!

    Lucky kid; from age 7 until I moved out at age 12, I did ALL the dishes EVERY day, for our family of 5!

    It's true that the pessimist is, on average(nb math term) happier than the optimist & I can prove it using math. . .

    SAGE advice?

    I’ve started growing herbs in my garden. To help identify them i’m growing
    them in alphabetical order. My neighbour asked me, how you find the time. I said, easy, it’s right here next to the sage.

    Wife is cooking "Im going to add this sage sparingly, because it's fresh
    sage, and the recipie calls for dried, so I don't how much to use."
    So you're saying you need some sage advice?

    Not a joke but here's some sage advice my dad gave me on women.
    If a woman is beautiful, tell her she's smart. If a woman is smart tell her she's beautiful. If she's neither tell her she lost weight.

    Sage driving advice from my dad.
    While practicing on my Learner's: "When you're in a hurry, yellow is just a funny shade of green"

    My Grandfather survived Pepper spray and Mustard gas attacks in two wars...
    ... And came home to us a seasoned Veteran.

    I poisoned my enemies herbs.
    Guess it was his thyme to go.
