If I do become a grandma one day, I will probably not have a trust fund for any of my grandchildren. For starters, I will never win the lottery because I am never bothered to buy a ticket. And secondly, if I do have that much money to burn, rest assured, I will find a way to spend every nickel of it. Nonetheless, I do have some nuggets of wisdom that I would like to share with them. And I will counter their accusatory thoughts of being a cheap grandma by saying that I wish someone told me these things earlier on in my life — as it would have made a world of difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten things I wish I learned a long time ago:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1) Weight and dress sizes are just numbers, just like age <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

2) When it really hurts, it's okay to cry — even in public<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

3) Moisturize every night before going to bed<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

4) To avoid road rage, imagine that it's Grandpa driving the car in front of me<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

5) Never take what is not mine — not matter how badly I want it<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

6) Clean up after my own mess and that it doesn't kill to say “I'm sorry”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

7) Use a fountain pen to instantly make my penmanship look better<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

8) There is no better time than the present<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

9) Try first before complaining<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

10) Waking up early on Saturdays make the weekend seem much longer<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

[ 11) It might not hurt to buy a lottery ticket from time to time ]
