Little did I know

I used to think that the majority of information in life can me learned in school. It is true that school bombards you with so much info only hoping that a small percentage will actually stick. Of course though, the small tidbits of information that does stick is so completely useless in everyday life. Don’t ask me why I still remember the pethagarian theory. As you become a parent though there is an infinite amount of knowledge that you only then become aware of. I have listed just some of the new data I have been enlightened with lately:

Snails do not get dizzy.
When you are four it is mandatory to sing in the shower. Preferably Pink: So What, I’m Still and Rock Star.
Dad’s like to teach their little boys all the inappropriate things that a mom would never teach them. Example: how to shoot the head off a monster with a sniper rifle.
The repercussions of running out of milk are tragic.
Jokes do not have to make sense in order to be funny.
Anything can be turned into a percussion instrument.
A bug zapper can be entertaining for the entire family. Except for when it starts to smell like something burning.
Kids are not offended when you have to ask them what it is they just drew. Because they are the only ones that can tell.

If you have any other tidbits that I should be aware of, please feel free to add them to this posting by commenting. I'm sure everyone will benefit from all this great knowledge.
