1.) I may only be 24 years old, but there is a very real possibility I was born before color television existed, before the dinosaurs were extinct, and before grocery stores when people had to hunt for their food.
2.) Sometimes making a bed is as simple as making sure the blanket, sheet, and pillow aren't on the floor; and that's okay.
3.) It is possible to be a good cook as long as you have a microwave and frozen chicken paramesan.
4.) Vegetables have a green taste, especially the green vegetables, and no one likes the taste of green.
5.) All these years, I've been pronouncing Neopolitan ice cream the wrong way. Apparently it's Nep-ull-tin. Who knew?
6.) Even though I'm 24 years old, I must have been born in a time when children didn't attend school or school may not have been invented. Sometimes the details on this fact are a little fuzzy.
7.) When you teach your children that "ain't" isn't a word, do not think that they will see the humor when you use it as part of a joke. Apparently all sense of humor is forgotten when they can correct your grammar.
8.) Why waste time folding clothes when you don't see them in the drawers anyways?
9.) If your child asks you an obscure question about something they saw on Animal Planet and you do in fact know the answer, it is hard for them to believe you know anything. On the other hand, if they ask you a question and you don't know the answer, you're like a hundred years old and should know this stuff.
10.) No matter how many times you swing the racket on the front court in Wii Tennis, you cannot hit the ball off the serve. You should accept this and move forward with your life, so that your little one can too. It's awful tiring for them to be right all the time.
11.) Even though you have to remind them to do homework when they come home from school, and you may have to keep pushing them to get it done, never interrupt homework with a quick chore. Can't you see they're studying? Don't you know they're doing homework? Who has time to put away socks when you're working on spelling?
12.) Don't be a mean mommy. No other mommy in the world makes their children come in at dark, take a shower, brush their teeth, and put them to bed at 9pm so how can you, in good conscience, call yourself a good mother when you do it?

Wow! #1 journal on CM. Thanks ladies! Glad you enjoyed!
Lesson I've learned from becoming a mother: Even before they can talk or be potty trained, a 2-year old can figure most things out faster than you can.

HAHA ... So True!!
It's not Neopolitan ice cream, it's magic ice cream. The first time my guy had it he couldn't figure out how they got all those flavors in the same container therefore it must be magic.
