Great ones!!! I love them all!!!
My dad offered me a few when I was 10 years old. 1.Always keep your promises. If you see that you really can't, apologize, apologize and apologize. Then tell them when you think it might be possible. 2.Any little girl can grow up to be a woman. Special ones grow up to be ladies. And my favorite that I say often 3. Be kind or be quiet!

There is nothing wrong with that. Look back at them and guess how they will grow up to become men of the future.

I had polio as a kid. Until I could dive or jump normally, I had to enter the pool by the stairs.

I’m sorry we have a difference of opinion. I had learned most of these early. A few I learned later in life. Overall, I think this is a good batch. Would you like to share your opinion and elucidate why you disagree with them?
