Juvenile Philosophy

Never trust a dog to watch your food. When you want something expensive, ask your grandparents. Never talk back to a teacher whose eyes and ears are twitching. Wear a hat when feeding seagulls. Sleep in your clothes so you'll be dressed in the morning. Never try to hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk. Never ask for anything that costs more than five dollars when your parents are doing taxes. Never bug a pregnant mom. Don't ever be too full for dessert. When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?" don't answer him. Never tell your mom her diet's not working.
