Ten things I learned as a child
1. To cook. My mom is really into the whole domestic goddess thing so I can cook a full, formal dinner for twenty and serve it.
2. If you are 15, reasonably cute and in the right neighborhood, a kissing booth makes more money than a lemonade stand.
3. Not everyone can dance. Even more so not everyone should try.
4. Jesus loves me yes I know. For the bible tells me so. Despite my religious beliefs being more relaxed than they used to be when I was living at home, I still believe this.
5. I'm allergic to demoral. It's a common pain killer they give in hospitals. It makes me break out in a rash and projectile vomit. Really lovely side effects. I prefer morphine and I'll tell them so when I go to the emergency room now.
6. They, yes the infamous they, say never judge a book by it's cover. Everyone does though. At least in the beginning. If we're lucky people look beyond the cover and if we're even more lucky, that person isn't just blank pages.
7. To shoot a pistol with surprising accuracy. We always had guns around the house so my dad insisted we learn how to shoot them. My brother and dad go hunting. I've never been and I don't want to but if someone breaks into my house and I can and will shoot them. Then I'll cry like a girl later.
8. To change a tire. In theory. Let me explain. Dad showed me how to change a tire then he told me if I ever have a flat, drive to a safe place, lock myself in the car and call him.
9. The major highlights of the bible, including quotes. My parents were strict about it. We had bible study every night after dinner. It relaxed a little as I got older but not much.
10. When in doubt, ask a boy to do it. So it might sound sexist or whatever. They're stronger and they change lightbulbs better. Plus, if you're lucky, they're pretty.
