What I Needed
to Learn in Life, I Learned from My Chihuahuas
1.
Mexican
cuisine is the greatest of all time.
2.
All
other cuisine is good, as long as you’re hungry and are in a pinch.
3.
Dynamite
comes in very small packages.
4.
If
life hands you blankets, take a nap.
5.
If
life doesn’t happen to hand you blankets, it’s okay, just steal them.
6.
Winter
is made for hibernating.
7.
100°F
weather is the perfect temperature.
8.
If
it has teeth and shows them to you, it WILL bite.
9.
Waking
someone who is sleeping is hazardous to your health.
10. Tiny IS mighty.
11. To be the best, you’ve got to beat
the best.
12. To dominate, you seek out the biggest
guy, swagger up to him, tap his foot with your foot and when he bends down to
get into your face, you bite his nose.
13. Then hold on for dear life while he
screams, flailing as he tries to remove you from his sore and possibly broken nose.
14. Your bite needs to be much bigger
than your bark.
15. When you’re mad at your mama, sit
with you dad and watch baseball while giving your mama the evil side eye, at
least until bedtime.
16. Peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks
are not just for consumption during the 7th inning stretch.
17. Every female should have a huge
wardrobe of clothes, shoes, coats, purses, jewelry and accessories at her whim. (and whatever else she wishes to wear).
18. Always dress well and appropriate for
every occasion.
19. Faux fur, jewels, glitter and
rhinestones ARE appropriate for every occasion.
20. Always arrive in style, like you’re
ready to walk the red carpet, darling.
21. Be excited to and go visit your
Grandma and Grandpa whenever you can.
22. If you want ice cream, just eat it.
23. Don't feel guilty about anything.
24. What’s done is done.
25. Do not dwell in the past.
26. Why walk anywhere when you can ride
everywhere?
27. If you do have to walk, walk with
an entourage. It shows you are
important.
28. Everyone should share their food
with you. It’s a universal, unwritten
law.
29. Keep everyone guessing by growling
at them once in a while.
30. Just be cute, no one can dare to
resist.
