Parenting top ten things...

No child has ever died from:

1. Screaming his lungs out (the lungs don't literally come out)

2. Not getting the latest handheld, GPS-encoded musical thingamabob that all the other kids have. (Even if all the other kids really, truly do have it)

3. Eating cheese sticks exclusively from age 2 to 3

4. Taking 30 seconds to think about what he's thankful for before lunging for the sweet potatoes

5.
The heartbreak of a hopelessly twisted Slinky

6.
Having to put her arm around her brother for five seconds for your family Christmas-card photo

7.
Being left with-gasp!-Dad while you go off for a much-deserved girls' weekend

8.
Seeing the Hannah Montana movie the day after it opens

9.
Having to wait till he's older before he gets to use the pocket-knife his clueless uncle got him for his birthday

10.
Too many hugs and kisses
