When playing baseball in your backyard it is not advisable to keep your eyes on the ball when you use trees as bases.

There are reasons why the pitcher's mound is 60' away from the plate. Reflexes aren't that fast in reacting to line drives after delivery. Bruised thigh for 2 weeks. No more baseball on softball fields.

Don't volunteer to do something no one else wants to do and then expect to get volunteers to help you do it.

Don't let your two-year-old get his own water -- unless you're okay with him drinking from the dog's bowl.

Never take your child'd word for it (no matter how old they are) that the dog poop in the back yard is cleaned up when mowing the lawn.

Don't promise your spouse that you will take the soup off the stove in half an hour when you are working on a big presentation that is due in the morning.

30 minutes later, 3 hours later. Can I say I got my "3's" mixed up?

Don't feed your 6 month old child while dressed to go out (work clothes, dressy clothes, etc.) No matter how careful you think you are, you may extend your hand to shake someone elses and find dried squash up and down your sleeve.

Never, ever chug a glass of red wine after unsuccessfully trying to locate the cigarette butt that went flying out of your hand previously.

Don't leave your husband watching a three-year-old during the playoffs.

Or at least make sure scissors are out of reach of said three-year-old if you do.

When you decide to buy twelve cans of tuna because they are on sale, make sure the label doesn't say "in oil".
