Interesting (but true!)

Here are some tidbits:
  • If you drive on a snooze cruise (car trip designed to put kid(s) to sleep for those who are uninitiated) all children except the one who asked for the snooze cruise will fall asleep.
  • If you read every other page of most children's picture books the story will still make sense and you can get through that "one more story please" book faster so they get in bed sooner.
  • Food off your plate apparently tastes better than food off their plate.
  • A child may gorge himself/herself on something at one meal and then refuse to touch it at another meal because he/she "doesn't like that."

All of these are so very true!! :)

glad it isn't just our house, or our kids that are like this. :)

It's a collorary (sp?) of Murphy's Law. I like skipping every other page, wish I'd thought of that when my kids were younger. They're on to me now.
