What I Want My Kids To Know- Part 2

- Never drink and drive. Never smoke pot and drive, either.
- Don’t believe the hype. What other people think of you doesn’t matter.
- Manners matter.
- Tip well.

- Be inclusive, you’ll never regret inviting that one person on the fringe.
- If you say something, follow through.
- Better not to say anything at all then make false promises.

- In fact, invite kids to aforementioned piñata gathering or people will think you’re creepy.

- You are responsible for your actions, reactions and your place in the world.
- Don’t blame anyone else if you aren’t happy with who you are and where you are.
- Be honest. Lying is never the right choice.
- Be prompt; respect other people’s time.
- The best thing for a wicked hangover is grease. You won’t want to eat, so force yourself.

- Good news, you never really know what’s going to happen next.
