things I know

• If you change the sprinkler head on a hose without turning off the water, no matter how sure you are that you can do it this time, you will get wet. 

• If you are craving some comfort foods and are going to the grocery that day, no matter how much restraint you show at the store, you will still end up eating comfort foods later. 

• If you remember being in a situation yourself and now see your child struggling with the same thing, no matter how well intentioned you are, your child will still think you lived with dinosaurs and cannot possibly understand him.
