Oh, the Things You Say You'll Never Do

For those of you who are in high school, here's a suggestion.  Make a list of the things you swear you'll never do when you get to be an adult.  Write them down. Store them in a safe place. In twenty+ years, dig them out and look at them again. Check o0f all the things you have done at that point. Chances are you will have checked of 80-95% of that list.

Here's mine:

-Never live in Utah. (check - currently in West Jordan)
-Never adopt. (check - what a stupid thing to say anyway)
-Never tell my kids "because I said so, and that's good enough for you". (check - and it is good enough)
-Never tell my kids "you're just a kid, you don't know what Dad and I are talking about" (check.)
-Never drive a minivan. (whew! one I'm safe on!)
-Never let my kids get silly haircuts that they'll groan about when they see pictures later....

check.
