    No desert if you don't eat your dinner.
    Go outside and play

    ETA: Jesus loves you, but he doesn't want you to wear sneakers to church.

    Don't trust anyone.
    Friends are only out to hurt you.
    Drink your problems away.

    I'm thinking thats not what you meant but I would rather die than continue the cycle. The things I try to instill in my children are much different:

    Make sure the people you love know it.
    Always make strong eye contact.
    Treat others the way you want to be treated.
    Laugh everyday, all day

    Ugh! It is crappy what some kids go through, but so AWEZUM you persevered! Great attitude!

    To treat others as you'd like to be treated yourself!

    Pick up your own room

    Don't start using a word that you don't know the meaning of. (damn you Ricky Greene)

    "I was doing a safety test" is not a valid reason for pushing a younger brother off the roof.

    Never tell a kid who out weights you by 40 lbs "your arguments is erroneous. your facts do not support your theory". especially when that kid does not know those words and thinks you just called him a name.

    That was the best belly laugh I had all day! Thanks! : )

    Me too! Now I know not to pass that on to my kids!

    They also taught me to always follow my heart and be my own person. They taught me to be a free thinker, except for when it came to them and their rules. :laugh: It took me awhile to understand the difference.

    don't play with mom's lighter unless you want mom's hair on fire and a sore *kitten*.
    when mom gives you a tablespoon of whiskey to teach you how yucky booze is don't ask for more. unless you want a sore *kitten*.
    when you fall in the creek and walk home like the mud-monster, don't come in the house without getting the hose turned on you. unless you want a sore *kitten*.
    when your brother is wrapped in tin foil as a robot for Halloween, don't pick little pieces off him and leave them all over the neighborhood as a trail. unless you want a half robot brother and a sore *kitten*..
    don't squeeze your head in between the railing to peek downstairs. you may or may not get a sore *kitten*.

    When you feel like crying:cry: , try not to laugh :laugh: (yes, I use this with all kids)
    It's never too late to have a happy childhood:smile:
    The sun will come out, Tomorrow (Thanks Annie!)
    We're not lost (says mom, driving a country road), we're on an adventure!
    Always remember what it's like to be the new kid - and help the new kid not feel that way.
    You have to wait an hour to swim after you have eaten.
    Vegetable oil is not sunscreen (ouch!)
    Don't write anything you don't want anyone else to see (especially that B*** in the row next to you.
    Singing "Hit me with your best shot" may result in being hit - hard - by a boy.

    If it's not on sale don't even bother asking for it.

    In Mom's defense she had 5 kids and, including my dad, 7 mouths to feed.
