Lessons in Life...

Do not date boys named Keith. Always buy the shoes you wanted. Be the first person to say sorry. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Frying an onion is the quickest way to make your kitchen smell like dinner. Bigger sunglasses are always better. Keith Richards will always be trouble. Moisturize. Count to ten before you say something you regret- and if you are still mad, count higher. Wear red. Give more than you want and you will get more than you need. When you are young and in a group of three girls, one girl will almost always feel left out- include everyone. You can always have more garlic. Hot curlers fix a bad hair day. No really, Keith will break your heart. It’s color- not dye. Be brave. Everybody has problems. Own something leopard print. Invest in a good can opener - and stocks. Find something to like in everybody. It’s hussy, not whore. You really do need to sort your laundry. You are too young to use the word “old”. Don’t say something about someone that you couldn’t say to their face. Fresh flowers are not an extravagance but a necessity. If you want something- ask for it. Adding vanilla pudding to chocolate chip cookie mix makes them taste so much better. Look people in the eye. KEITH IS TROUBLE. Take a photo of what you want your hair to look like when you get it cut. Learn the difference between “your” and “you’re”. Buy lemons. It’s not really giving if you expect something in return. Your shortest skirt should not be worn with your tallest shoes. And lastly, never say ” I told you so”- it’s annoying and can usually be said only when someone has made a poor choice and needs your support. Especially when the choice involves boys named Keith.
