*When you need to carry a child they will want to walk.
*When you want them to walk they will want to be carried.
*When you bring the stroller they will want to walk.
*When you forget the stroller they will want to ride.
*The more potential a food has for stains the greater the coverage area when it is hurled by a child.

*The more potential a food has for stains the more expensive the item of clothing/fabric/furniture it strikes.
*A child's favorite one day is never a favorite the next day (especially food).
*The intensity of the tantrum is directly proportional to the amount of people around to witness.
{If it's mine it's mine,

if it's yours it's mine,

if I like it is mine,

if I can take it from you it is mine,

if I am playing with something

ALL of the pieces are mine,

if I think it is mine it is,

if I saw it first it's mine,

if I had it then put it down

it is still mine,

if you had it then you put it down

it is now mine,

if it looks like the one I have at home it is mine,

if it is broken

it is yours. }
