6. All projects are due on the same day: TOMORROW.
7. Check for dog poop before you roll down the hill.
8. Hell hath no fury like a teenager on a bad hair day.
9. One day when your kids are getting ready to graduate you will find a petrified french fry under the car seat…..and get teary-eyed.
10. In-laws teach kids stuff. Weird stuff. Bad stuff.
