W.O.W.

Words of Wisdom from Carolena

It's a good idea to keep your parents guessing when it comes to your dining preferences. If your parent directs you toward your high chair at the kitchen table, scream, "no!" and run for your small kids' table. Then, when your parent comes to that table, scream, "no!" once more and run for your high chair. Likewise, every once in a while when your mother serves you one of your favorite foods don't eat it. Just leave it on the plate and eat everything else in sight. Then, when your mother tries to pick up your plate, yell "no!" and take it back as though you are now ready to eat your fave food. Of course, don't eat it. Stare at it for a while and then pass the plate back to your mother. She likes when you keep her on her toes.

Every time you see something that even halfway resembles a phone it's a good idea to hold it up to your ear and yell, "hewwo?!" just in case someone is on the line waiting for you to speak. If the object is just out of your reach you can use your hand in a pinch. Simply hold your hand to your ear and yell, "hewwo?!"

If you are fortunate enough to find yourself on the beach, be fearless. Spend time in the water. Let the waves wash up on your legs and knock you down. Go as deep as your mother will let you and then lie down in the surf for the next wave to come. Pick up shells and hold them high in the air announcing, "shell!" to anyone within earshot. If your Jimmers brings down a cast net, squeal and yell, "fish!" Perhaps your dad will even let you hold one of the fish at which point you should just smile and then throw it back into the gulf.

When looking for something to do just find something to sit on and declare, "itsahooorrse."
