Day Five - Getting Educated

1.19.16


I have been spending a wonderfully abundant amount of time with my three-year-old niece.  Along with letting her use my face as a model for the tester products in Ulta and giving me quality advice on which bracelets I should buy her, I have acquired valuable information on the things that matter most in life.  Below are notes I found interesting and predictably useful in the future:

Stickers are of the utmost importance, and you can add to your collection (or decorate your outfit) with the assistance of your neighborhood-friendly Trader Joe’s checkout clerk. 

Grocery stores are the most delightful playgrounds.  What is required is an excitable brother and a cart.  Adults are optional.

It's important to put on as much glitter as possible.  There is really no more explanation or specification required here.

Coloring outside the lines is completely acceptable.  Lines, in fact, are not needed at all and a pumpkin can look like just about anything.  It’s all about perspective, anyhow.  


If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it.  For example, asparagus. 

Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a legit dinner.  This is valid just about any night.

Princess shirts really are wonderful.  As night-shirts, day-shirts, and play-shirts.  They can also be worn multiple days in a row. 

You can wear a tutu anywhere.  In the car, at the store, to your aunt’s house, and even to bed. 

Batting your eyelashes and sweetly saying please will get you anything you ask for.  Anything.  If for some reason the original person you ask says no, you have a very high chance of the next person saying yes.

Waking up is very easy and quite exciting.  Apparently all you need to do is open your eyes, naturally what happens next is sitting up and announcing that it is morning.

You can make a song out of anything.  Coloring, eating, playing with your dog, how much you love your mommy -- or your aunt!

It’s possible to distinguish headbands and other accoutrement with the title, “The Beautiful One.”  This makes it simple to have your mom select the correct hair accessory when you say, “No, not that one, The Beautiful One!”

Musical instruments are simple to come by.  For example, if you have two cylindrical paper items, you can start a band with your aunt.  

If you feed the dog treats, she will let you do just about anything, and have it be totally acceptable to wait for her outside of her cage until she is ready to play again.


This is intended as a start-up list.  Stay tuned for updates as the week progresses.
