Adults love watching things that babies do because they’re cute (unless you’re an ugly baby). For example hiccups… when Daddy gets the hiccups people tell Daddy to stop making so much noise. But when i get hiccups everybody thinks it’s cute.
More daily rage (common annoyances we’ve all encountered)! These were NOT done by me. Enjoy!
This last one is ESPECIALLY for Daddy!

This is a continuation of Daddy’s advice from the it’s-just-a-phase years.
Age 19-22
Get good grades. Even if that boring Biology class you’re taking now has nothing to do with your career goal of becoming a journalist you may decide later to become a doctor. That Biology class grade will factor in to whether you can get into medical school.
Again, watch out for boys. Boys will say ANYTHING to hump you.
Don’t be afraid to change majors in college (assuming you are in college… which I hope you are).
Don’t take more than 6 years to graduate from college. That’s just a waste of money and time. And sad as well.
Don’t worry about what major you graduate with. In most cases, your major has no bearing on your future career. Only certain careers require a specific major (i.e. computer programming, engineering).
Don’t focus too much on your looks… all women are ugly when they get old.
Study hard and be smart… intelligence never expires.
Be careful of meeting people on the internet. That 19 year old chick you’re talking to is probably a 45 year perverted guy.
Do internships. The “working environment” is usually much different than what you imagine.
If you don’t like waking up early then don’t take early morning classes. You will never attend class and then get a D+.
Do not assume to know everything. Ok you probably know some stuff but still not a lot.
Enjoy your winter, spring and summer vacations from school. This is your last chance.
Daddy is always right.
Mommy is always right… but only when she repeats what Daddy says.
When looking for a career do you want money or fun? You almost never get both. The fun jobs usually don’t pay well and the un-fun jobs usually do pay well.
If you want to be rich then start your own business. If you have a boss then that just means your work is making someone else rich.
It’s ok to be gay. I mean, try not to be but if you are that’s fine. Just don’t tell grandma.
Start your 401K immediately. Make sure you invest enough to get your company’s matching if they provide it.
Weddings are expensive and a huge waste of money. But if you don’t ask Daddy to pay for it then shoot for the sky! BTW renting an elephant for a wedding would be pretty cool!
You will probably change jobs/careers at least a few times. It’s normal.
Max out your Roth IRA every year.
Boys are pretty immature. It’s normal. So get used to them burping in your face and farting on your pillow.
Don’t buy the most expensive house in a neighborhood.
If you ask Mommy and Daddy for money then make sure you include time for us lecture you about money management.
You might date someone older than you. That’s normal. But don’t date someone more than 10 years older than you. That’s just gross.
Never take money out of your 401K or Roth IRA until you retire.
Do not assume to know everything. You’re getting there but not yet.
Daddy is always right.
Mommy is always right… but only when she repeats what Daddy says.
Age 30+
You now realize all of Daddy’s advice was right.
You will now spend the next 22 years giving advice to your kid who won’t listen. HAHA
