NOTE FROM LIST DAD:
Experts in China are touting the benefits
of actually listening to your kids. Heh.

The Top 8 Things You’ll Hear If
You Actually *Listen* to Your Kids

8> The content won’t matter; the volume is sure to be
ear-splitting.

7> “Gimme, times infinity…”

6> “I wonder what would happen if we put nitroglycerin in the
cat’s food?”

5> “I’m six, and this is my daughter Carly. She’s eleven.”

4> Insights worthy of Nietzsche and nonsense worthy of MTV,
often in the same sentence.

3> A belch that registers on the Richter scale, followed by the
sound of a high-five slap with his brother.

2> Mid-semester every year, you can actually *hear* their grades
falling.

and the Number 1 Thing You’ll Hear If You Actually *Listen* to Your Kids…
1> The sound of your youth slipping away, muffled by the crunch
of Cheerios underfoot.
