1. If you see a pair of shoes tied together and thrown over power lines it means that the area is one where drugs are sold (someone just told them too). I always thought it was just mean bullies who stole peoples shoes.

2.There is a gadget that one can buy to turn the television off at a predetermined time. One of their friends lives with someone who insists on keeping the television on to all hours of the night even if they fall alseep on the couch. So friend attached one of the cut off devices and the TV goes off at 1 am every night. Roomie can't work out what is happening and has now connected TV to another power point thinking the power point is the problem.

3.That it is entirely possible to put the filer in the Britta water jug upside down and still have it click into place as the directions said it must if it was in the correct position. Daughter 2 was able to show me, as apparently I had managed to do just that...and I followed the instructions very closely to achieve it too. No one was surprised.

4. That a girl who can do multi million dollar deals and negoiations can be brought to the state of a blithering idiot over which lock, keyed or combination, to buy for her suitcase. We also had to choose a "secret" document holder, a carry on bag, a small back pack, a travel clothesline and some underwear. Now I know why 2 year olds throw themselves down in supermarket aisles and scream. I envied them the privilege today.

5. That mothers of grown daughters do not have the right to decide on their own hair styles....total grey is going to be a little way off it appears. In fact they do not have the right to decide much at all, except how much guilt they will take upon themselves for ruining their children's lives. You are never too old to blame your parents...I know, I am still doing it!

6. That it is possible to con one of your children into taking your car and filling it with fuel every week. Of course you still pay but they will do the physical side of pumping the petrol. Even if a daughter lives away from home, they contiue thinking you are so incompetent that they offer to take you car and fill it. Putting the filter in the Britta jug probably helps to prolong that opinion.

7. That sitting in a booth at Gloria Jeans for an hour with a daughter can be the best fun in the whole world. Having little daughters is wonderful but having grown daughters makes your heart sing.
