What my children have taught me…

Being a mother for 12 years has given me more job experience than I have on my ‘ol resume. Here is a list of things my children have taught me over the course of my career:

1. It’s a very bad idea to forget to add water to ramen noodles and try to cook them in the microwave.

2. Children who don’t feel like waiting until dinnertime will attempt to do the above.

3. Children will make a slide out of the bathtub if you let them.

4. “Food fight” has a whole new meaning when you leave children unattended to answer a phone call.

5. Babies love to play with water…A LOT. As a matter of fact, babies like to play with milk and kool-aid, too.

6. Young children don’t care if they are nudists. After bathtime, they would rather sit on their bed and play with Barbie’s for two hours than get dressed. They must have a high metabolism.

7. The only thing that motivates children to move faster is candy.
