Recent Lessons Learned or Relearned at the Craig House

I’m a firm believer in learning our lessons.  I mean, if we don’t learn from our mistakes,
then what’s the use in our making them, right? 
And yes, some lessons are those we have to repeat over and over before
the light bulb comes on and we reach the amazingly intelligent conclusion of,
“Duh.” 

Okay, so I admit it, we at the Craig house have experienced
our share of “duh” moments.   Below are a
few lessons we at the Craig house have learned over the years. 

Hubby:  Do not
microwave a toothbrush.  Yes, it sounds
reasonable that to stick it in a cup of water and set the time on one minute
might be sure to kill the germs and therefore save you from the $1.99 of having
to purchase a new one every three weeks, but it doesn’t work.

Son:  Do not microwave
a whole egg.  Yes, I know you want to
prove mama wrong when I say you can’t do that, but when the egg explodes
coating the microwave with scrambled egg, you’re going to be sorry. 

Me:  Never attempt to
move a feline that is about to throw up a hair ball.  Believe it or not, there are worse places for
a hair-ball to land other than where you thought it might end up.

Son:  To clean a cell
phone you DO NOT run it through the washing machine.  To dry a cell phone, DO NOT run it though the
dryer.  In other words, check your
dad-burn jeans before doing laundry!

Me:  When son says,
smell this, and has funny look on his face, don’t do it.  When son says, taste this and has a green
appearance in skin tone, don’t do it.

Son:  Puking is not a
team sport.  Yes, when you were small,
mama always held your head and kept a damp cloth to your brow during these
times of needs.  At eighteen, and with a
man-size stomach, you are lucky if mom tosses a wet rag at you and says I hope
everything comes out all right.

Son: Just because it’s in the refrigerator doesn’t mean it’s
still edible.  P.S.  Refer to lesson above for reference.

Hubby:  Never start
whining about losing your glasses until after you check the top of your head. 

Me:  Never attempt to
wax my own eyebrows.  (No explanation
needed.)





Hubby:  Never ever, under any circumstances, ask your
wife what happened to her eyebrows.
