So here’s my list of 5 things I learned this week. Actually it was more like 10.
#1 Michigan’s weather is bi-polar, so bring a warm raincoat AND sunglasses wherever you go. We have 2 seasons here: freezin’ and scorchin’.
#2 Do not throw dirty underwear at your sister when she is angry with you.
#3 Eat healthy food regularly, even if you feel like you’re going to throw up.
#4 Listen to your English teacher about persuasive essays. Even if it IS boring.
#5 Don’t let the dog out of his crate when you have cheese in your hand.
#6 If a younger sister goes missing in the mall, go to Build-A-Bear to find her.
#7 Used tissues work really well to clean pencil marks off a desktop.
#8 Don’t rip up your homework in front of your teacher.
#9 The detention warden is actually really nice, IF you give her candy. And by the way, #8 is not related to #9.
#10. Sometimes the old coot at the Antiques Fair tells really good stories. Even if you can’t really understand him because he’s missing most of his teeth.
