Priya's Proverbs - Not too happy about this
I had a cookie attack last night about 10pm - So I found a couple packs of IKEA cookies in the pantry and I had a couple - okay I had 4 or 5, maybe 6, with a big glass of milk. It was sooooo good.
The next morning about 7am Priya finds the pack of cookies nearly gone (evidentally Mom got the cookies for her) and I hear her stomping up the steps toward our room and I hear:
"Dad! Dad!!!"
Then she comes into the bathroom where I am shaving and she is waving the near empty cookie bag and says in a big grown up voice,
"WELL I AM NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!"

Lice Treatments
We've had a bout of lice in the house - the victims shall remain nameless to protect the innocent.
Forget all the $10-20 shampoo's or prescription stuff that you have to use like 3 times only to have it not work or your kid gets re-infested.
This is a little dangerous but it really works & it is cheap: Rubbing Alcohol
Use a squirt bottle and a super fine lice "nit comb" and start at the roots and squirt and comb it through. Soak it good and put a plastic bag on the kids hair for 1 hour.
Then also dip your comb in a cup of alcohol to clean it off after every stroke. It seems to kill live ones in seconds and then just pic out the nits (I think it kills the nits but not 100% sure). Then just wash your hair and your done. Be sure to check for nits every couple days - Then repeat in 7 days.
Just make sure you keep away from any heat source and esp. any kind of flame! It'd be the end of you. But if you want lice gone - this works.
If no rubbing alcohol is available, Jack Daniels works fine...(kidding - I have no idea)

Cell Phone Ettiquette
Don't answer your phone and tell the person your not available to talk... that is why you have voice mail.
Don't leave a message saying to call me back... that is why we have caller ID. When someone you know calls and doesn't leave a message it means - "call me back." When it is a number you don't know and they don't leave a message it means - "wrong number or not important".
When you are at the grocery store and your wife calls you like 10 times and you miss the calls or don't answer - it means "don't go home anytime soon."
Learn how to manage your phone sounds & notifications, when meeting with people or a group put your phone on silent (not vi berate - it's annoying).
Everyone forgets now and again so we all need a little grace, but have you ever had someone answer their phone and then apologize to everyone for the interruption only to leave the ringer/vibration on and have the same thing happen again!! Major faux pas - turn it off!
In about 5 years this may all be obsolete as we will probably only text. I'll come up with texting etiquette then.
