Self-Help From a 2-Year-Old

Posted: 05/24/2012 2:48 pm

  1. Challenge yourself every day. Try climbing the stairs carrying two soccer balls while wearing your father's shoes. Remember, failure IS an option.
  2. De-clutter! Start by throwing all your dishes in the garbage. After that I suggest toothbrushes and important paper work.
  3. Pee on the floor and stomp in it like a puddle. You'll be shocked how much better you feel.
  4. Whether the glass is half empty or half full is irrelevant if you dump it out on the sofa. You're welcome.
  5. If you're feeling aggressive, or just bored, scream in a cat's face.
  6. Don't ever be afraid to hand someone an ice cube while they're on the toilet. That stuff is cold. You don't have to be in pain!
  7. Socks are poison. Trust me, don't wear them! Happiness will soon follow!
  8. Pound on a computer keyboard like Jerry Lee Lewis playing the piano. Feel better? I thought so. Great Balls of Fire!
  9. If you fall down, stay down. Someone will pick you up eventually.
  10. Quick thrills fuel the heart. Have you learned to delete things off the DVR yet? DO IT. It's AwWwWwEsOmE.
  11. Seize the day and the night and the middle of the night and the early morning. Seize everything, y'all! Never stop seizing stuff.
  12. Tired of looking at yourself in the mirror? So was I until I met my friend permanent marker. FACE TATTOOS ARE RAD.
  13. This might be a tough one, but you gotta trust me: Take a crap in the tub. It's surreal.
  14. Live in the moment because there is nothing else. Seriously, there isn't. Not that I'm aware of at least.
  15. If you're gonna run, do it at top speed, man. Life is too short to walk in the mall.
  16. I've seen God, and his name is iPad. Let us pray.

I think from now on, we can refer to crapping in the tub, as "taking a number thirteen."

#17: If you're hungry check your diaper for cheerios or loose change. If you can't find anything raid the dog's dish.

My three year old brother tossed crayons in the dryer to see the pretty colors on the clothes.
He also melted several crayons on the large newly painted gas furnace in the basement playroom.
I was five and told him it was not a good idea to do either, but did he ever listen to his older sister...no.

When I was little I once dumped an entire box of laundry detergent in the toilet. No special reason. I also tried out my new scissors on curtains and towels. And yes, I was the baby of the family too. :-)
