It’s been a fun, but busy week at the McResidence. And, what better day to share all I’ve learned. Lucky for y’all my well of information is never close to running dry.
So, here you go….
1. If a young kid on a 4-wheeler hits your 4-Runner on the back right panel, the damage will total $900.00. If you accidentally back into your neighbor’s truck in the driveway with the heap, ahem! I mean JEEP, it will cost more than $1,300.
2. If you have missed ANY episodes of BONES, you can catch one or two or twelve episodes daily on TNT.
3. If you are attempting to open a folding table, you should use caution or else you might end up hitting your toe and breaking off your toe-nail so far back that it bleeds.
4. If you get a pedicure, there is a pretty good chance, something will happen to scratch the polish or rip your toenail within 24-hours danggit.
5. If you choose a finger-nail polish color called Hot Atomic Red for your fingernails, it will look more like Hot Atomic Pink once it is applied.
6. There is at least one person working at Lowe’s that shouldn’t be working there.
7. If you take your kids to a movie at Park Place and the movie projector acts up five times during the movie, the manager will give you free passes if you complain.
8. Your child is learning from you at all times (especially if he is 6 years old.) You should use caution when talking about something that you do not want the entire free world to know about.
9. A SAMS card will not work in the ATM machine at your local bank.
10. When your child starts first grade, you can anticipate lots more homework than he had in kindergarten.
11. If your child gets stung by a sweat bee, the good news is it will die as soon as it stings you. (That tip is courtesy of Stevie.)
12. Corn is widely considered to be a fruit.
If you don’t believe me, Google it!
13. The little thing on the end of the shoe-string that holds it together is called an aglet.
14. If you don’t have sense enough not to eat them, you shouldn’t buy Little Debbie cakes.
Just Sayin’
15. Dancing With The Stars will begin in three weeks. Here is the line-up.
Natalie Coughlin with Alec Mazo
Mark Dacascos with Lacey Schwimmer
Tom DeLay with Cheryl Burke
Macy Gray with Jonathan Roberts
Ashley Hamilton with Edyta Sliwinska
Melissa Joan Hart with Mark Ballas

That’s all for this week!

Michael Irvin on DWTS? Does he really think he’ll do better than Emmitt? I think having one of the “triplets” on was enough.
Somewhere along the way, I learned that tidbit about the aglet. Pretty random to learn that one twice!

To #3 – OWW!! And to add insult to injury, it happened just after a pedicure. Boo. :/
To #7 – If you go the movie theater expecting to see one movie, and a totally different movie starts playing, you will also get free passes. Yes, seriously.
To #15 – Macy Gray? Really? Um…okay.
I may have to watch some of this season, I like Mya and Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All!!!) 
I haven’t even done my post yet! How awful am I!
SAMS card and ATM…who would have thought. lol
I love DTWS! I can’t wait for the new season to start.
.-= Kellyn´s last blog ..So behind, but not a bad thing =-.
I thought I was the only one who wants and sometimes does eat the WHOLE box of Little Debbie’s in one day.

I feel your pain on #1–I back into something about every 6 months. I think we are doing our part to keep the body shop industry afloat.
Although I haven’t ever hurt my toenail that bad before or after a pedicure, it sounds painful. Especially since the point of a pedicure is to feel happy when you look at your pretty toenails.
The homework thing depends on the teacher and school–my daughter’s school hardly sends any homework until 3rd grade, for which I am grateful!

Aglet? So that’s what my son seems to destroy on every pair of shoes within 2 weeks of us buying them.
Have you ever tried to replace an aglet with scotch tape?
At 7 am?
When said son is on the way out the door for school?
It doesn’t work so well.
Sorry about your toe!!! OUCH.
I am sooooo looking forward to DWTS as well!

For the record…Although the little Toyota truck sustained $1300 in damage, the only evidence on the JEEP (ahem) is a little maroon paint.
I laughed through most of your post and that’s a good thing. LOL. And as far as Dancing with the Stars goes, I like Kathy Ireland but have no idea how she dances. Debi Mazar has the thick NY accent. Once you see her, you’ll probably remember who she is.
.-= Debbie´s last blog ..What I Learned This Week =-.
LOL I cracked up about the LIttle Debbies. My brother blames his growing abdominal area to “Little Debbie and her delicious line of snack cakes.”.
And just so you know, I’m learning that 2nd graders get even more homework than 1st graders! I’m sensing a trend here!
