Top 10 Things I've Learned from Teaching Children

1. Girls are meaner than boys.

2. Sarcasm is not lost on young children (and they can very easily throw it back).

3. Saying 'No' creates an overwhelming curiosity to find out more.

4. When learning new words, never let children choose their own words from the dictionary unless you are prepared to explain what 'puberty' or 'copulation' is.

5. Girls definitely mature faster than boys do, and that is not necessarily a good thing.

6. Flirtatious nature really begins in childhood, innocent as it may be.

7. Children will do all kinds of things to get attention, including squirting soy milk through their noses.

8. Never give children soy milk until they have finished their work and have cleared the table.

9. Children remembers everything except what you want them to remember.

10. Teenagers may act like adults and even look like one but deep inside, given the chance, they are still very much children.
