What I Learned (so far) on My Summer Vacation
- Embarrassment is relative: The same boy who is embarrassed by hugs and kisses has NO qualms about dancing in the aisle of a grocery store.
- Anything marked “unbreakable” or “tear-resistant” must be tested.
- Everything can be a toy – including a folding chair and a backscratcher – but the best are a plain wooden yo-yo and a ribbon-and-block Jacob’s ladder. (I based the popularity on the number of fights over the toy.)
- Birdseed + squirrels > Saturday morning cartoons
- Possession might be 3/4 the law, but once you’ve convinced auntie to lend you a cute purse, it’s yours.
