Great truths about life that adults have learned

1) Raising teenagers is like nailing Jelly to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge . . .mostly sweet, with a few nuts.
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fibre, not the toy.

i love them all. i will let you know about the first one. i can't say i ever thought of the second one and now i'm wondering. number 3 is funny but very true. i'm the nut in mine, let's be honest. four is just profound and i loved that it came across my eyes. i hope i can always remember this. five is true and i hope we all have plenty of laughing in our lives and six even though i should, not yet...bad of me i know...naughty me, lol..

So who was Jelly? Your first (or a subsequent) girlfriend?

All true. I'm only starting on #1, but the rest mostly apply. I loved the post below too, my kids are working on those. Poor things, the first has happened on occasion.
