I often think about the wisdom I'd like to impart to her, as I'm sure her parents do too. I thought I'd share some of these things with you.
1. Do not feel pressured to be sorted into a specific Hogwarts house. Yes, I know you have a Slytherin and a Ravenclaw as a parent, but we'll all still love you if you turn out to be a Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. I promise.
2. Video games are fun.
3. If people try to tell you unicorns don't exist, don't believe them. They lie.
4. The Muppets exist to entertain you. They will make you laugh and you will love them and want to be friends with them. I promise.
5. Sports are not of the devil. I know your parents aren't into them and that's totally fine. But do not feel ashamed if you find first downs, homeruns, or free throws suddenly interesting. Xenu and LeeLee will happily talk sports with you and teach you all you want to know...especially Xenu. If you start talking about football with him, he will go on for a while...
6. Identity theft is an effing nightmare.
7. Popsicles make everything better. So do sour Skittles, pickles, sour patch kids, and Chickfila. Though not all at the same time necessarily.
I'm sure this isn't all she'll learn from me. I am, after all, a pretty wise person and pretty good at telling people what to do. But this is a pretty good start.
I'm definitely okay with it if she likes sports, just so long as she doesn't expect me to teach her too much about them. I'll teach her what I know, but my knowledge is limited. And it's true, I'll love her even if she gets sorted into a house other than Slytherin (though I will secretly try to influence this all I can up until age 11).
ReplyDeleteYou're funny! I like the advice :)
