Tyra turned 7 last week (no, her father didn't call for that birthday either) and I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with her friends at school. I took a cookie cake (cupcakes are so last year) to her class and learned a lot from her first grade buddies. Because I personally believe that children can be so much smarter than adults (you should hear Tyra's theories about John McCain), I am sharing what I learned from her friends:
1. Eating too much dairy can make you act crazy.
2. Boys and girls shouldn't play soccer together. Some sports are ok, but not soccer. Boys have different priorities when playing a game.
3. You should always wear a seatbelt. If you don't think you need to wear one, check your intake of dairy. It could be clouding your mental judgement.
4. Be careful about sharing your personal information. If you must write your address down in a public place, shread the form after it's been used.
5. Slurpies or icees or slushies are the best cure for any ailment.
6. Cheerleading is a skill that everyone should know and practice daily. Positive cheering daily can help everyone's self esteem.
7. Divorce is okay. It can actually be better than okay if you have supercool uncles.
8. Be nice to your siblings if you have any. They are the only people who will help you fight bullies when your parents aren't around.
9. Choker necklaces are back and here to stay.
10. Every girl should own at least one nutcracker. They come in all sizes and have many uses.
