Unavoidable Truths

A friend of mine sent an email titled "Things you should know by now" and suggested that I pinch the idea for my blog. So I have.

Here is some of my accumulated wisdom:

• cheap ice cream isn't worth eating
• a man would never demand that a woman leave the toilet seat up
• women can kill cockroaches (and, in fact, should)
• you don't actually need to kill every bug that comes into the house
• life is too short for bad coffee
• small children will always make a grab for big earrings
• g-strings are the most uncomfortable garment invented
• lipstick makes your eyes look brighter
• a $10 000 handbag can't really be that much better than a $100 one
• really good chocolate is much more satisfying than the cheap stuff, so you eat less
• as soon as Mum gets on the phone a child will need to ask a question
• anybody over the age of about three who wets their pants is already humiliated enough. Don't make it worse.
• seedless watermelon costs twice as much and tastes half as good, what a crock
