Children Discover Truth
Which reminds me of the time my daughter got the bright idea of taking our calico out to the curb to meet Santa Claus. Who, every year, visited our neighborhood via fire track, with all sirens blazing and lights flashing.
"She'll love it, Mom," Melissa told me. I was skeptcal.
The cat was not an outdoor cat and Melissa was warned not to let the cat run free.
As the cat clawed at her arms and face to escape the loud sirens Melissa struggled to get her into the house. With me on the porch warning her not to let the cat go. The cat was so scared she'd likely have run into the street directly in the path of Santa's fire truck
Melissa and the cat made it to the porch though Melissa was a bit bloody.
Add to the list below: Cats don't want to see Santa screaming down the road on a fire truck."

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the
second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
