I’ve enjoyed browsing through this blog, 500 Pieces of Prudent Advice for my Daughter. When Jaime Morrison Curtis had a daughter she started writing down things she wanted her daughter to know as she grew up. Some pieces of advice are heartfelt, some are common sense, and some made me laugh.
It made me think about the things I hope E learns as he grows up. Something trite but true that came to mind is that kindness costs nothing to give but benefits everyone. That, and not to eat beans before a date.

I liked the chopping hair advice. That is something I have never realized before, but it explains why I am often depressed after haircuts. I think I'll pass that one on.
Always keep a piece of gum or candy in your purse.
