An umbrella, a scarf, and a plastic bag all walk into a bar

PhotoOnly one more day before we all binge on cake for the family's first twenty year-old! On with the life lessons list:
 
9. Be reliable but not predictable. If you say you are going to do something, do it. But do not say yes to everything. If people expect you to say yes every time they ask you for something, you will never be not doing something.

10. Always keep an umbrella, a scarf, and a plastic bag in your car.

11. Never, ever, ever take Tylenol with alcohol. Also, if you for some reason ignore everything we have ever taught you and you do take a bunch of drugs while drinking, do not lie on your stomach. In general, just never sleep on your stomach. Always sleep on your side.

12. Stay away from parks after sun down. Nothing good ever happens in a park at night.

13. Pay attention to what the people you love like. You do not have to like the same things they do, but buying them gifts will be a snap! For example, Uncle Tod loves the Oakland A's. You can get him anything Oakland A's for his 50th birthday. That is not too far away and now that you are an adult, you have to buy gifts yourself instead of just having mommy sign your name to whatever she buys. You will now love giving sentimental gifts but will still love to receive gift cards.
