- Jehovah's Witnesses don't like it when you share your beliefs back. It gets rid of them very quickly. Mormons, on the other hand, will sit down and chat.
- How messy the house is is directly proportional to how much company is coming (and how soon).
- How terrible I look is directly proportional to how many people I know and run into when I am out. I never run into anyone I know when I look fabulous, but let me go to Wal-mart in sweats with my hair sticking up and my whole graduating class is bound to be there. Even if it's 3:00 AM.
- Two male dogs in the house is not the best idea.
- Women are more skilled at driving school buses than men.
- The kid with the most morning gas will always be the one right behind the bus driver.
- No amount of tomato sauce and cheese makes eggplant taste good.

- The day you sing really loud or have a conversation with yourself when the bus is empty....is the day some kid will act up and your boss will pull the video tape to review.
- Gray hair happens.
- Women's feet are getting bigger. It used to be sizes 7 & 8 that were always sold out, now it's 9 & 10.

- The most heated arguments are always the ones in which you discover just how wrong you can be.
- Not all brides are beautiful and not all babies are cute.
- If you have a teenage daughter you might as well adjust to being treated like you are the stupidest person on the planet. How you manage to walk around without a helmet and someone nearby to wipe the drool off your chin is a mystery.

Whoa, quite the post!
Women's feet are getting bigger. My first husband was a "shoe dog," he worked in fashion. Shoes, at least then, had to be bought in lots. If a store wanted more 9's and 10's, they had to by as many 5's and 6's. This is why those rare women with small feet luck out at shoe clearance time.
Wow! This was AWESOME! I laughed. I almost cried. I tweeted (that's a good thing unlike if I had "tooted"). I nodded the whole way through! Excellent life lessons, Miss Stacy Lynn!
I was thinking "oh that's SO right the entire time..laughed loudly at the teenage girl comment about wearing a helmet!
As an Avon Lady, I take exception to this post!
(Except the parts that made me lol.)
Glad everyone got a laugh out of this!
Quilly....I've been an Avon Lady before, too. Just one of the first people that popped into my head. :)
