things about how to deal with life that i learned today, thanks to babysitting an almost-one-year-old:

if it's hard, chew on it

if it's pink, chew on it

if it's shiny, chew on it

if it smells weird, chew on it

if it sings, chew on it

if it bounces, chew on it

if it has sharp corners, chew on it

if it surprises you, chew on it

if it moves, chew on it

if it's boring, chew on it

if it's a really good book, chew on it

if it tells you "no", chew on it

if it wiggles, chew on it

if it's too quiet, chew on it

if it's too loud, chew on it

if it just maybe is going to be the yummiest thing you've ever chewed on, chew on it
