At the PractiGal household, we're lifelong learners. We don't need a classroom to learn valuable
lessons. Nosirree!
And many times we don't even need books.
Many of our most important lessons are learned right here, within these walls.
Lessons learned recently:
- When you send your spouse to the grocery store with a shopping list, be sure to specify that you'd like a whole uncooked chicken.
- If you bid on an online auction, make sure you are prepared to win. Because... You. Might. Just. Win.
- No matter how many times you try, a grapefruit will not bounce.

What have you learned lately?
Oh, that second thing--I learned that this week, too...

Thumper, I've been having a lot of laughs over that one. Mainly because it wasn't me who won the booby prize here this time.

If you burn Weight Watchers Danish bread in the toaster, don't bother trying to scrape off the burnt bits as the whole slice will simply disintigrate before your eyes.

Make sure you turn on the correct stove burner, otherwise you run the rist of melting the top knobs on the pot covers! And your entire house will smell like burnt plastic;-)

I've learned that stuffing oneself into a pre-pregnancy bra is an uncomfortable exercise, and staying in said bra for 10 hours is excrutiating.

Kitty,
Gah! Don't you hate that?
Caryl,
Ooooh. Yeah. Melted plastic. Mmmm. The knob on my crockpot looks like a Salvador Dali creation... for the same reason!
Kristi, Yeah. It's time for a new slingshot! This place has some very nice stuff http://www.motherwear.com. I got my favorite bra there when I was pregnant.

Dishes dropped from great heights will break on impact.
You can eat boogers.
If you go to bed really late, it is very difficult to wake up the next morning.

K,
LOL! I've been staying up too late lately, and you're very right about that!

Jumping on your bigger brother does get him mad
Hot water is fun to play with
