Parenting for Dummies
June 4th, 2008
Alternate title: In which I clean off my camera, and smoosh the pictures together to make a post.
Now that I am a seasoned and experienced parent of 21 months, I thought it was time that I gave you Hey You’s no fail rules to raising a perfect child. If you follow these rules closely, your child will grow to be healthy, and well developed.
1. Boredom is never acceptable. Every minute should be planned to the fullest for optimal educational value.
2. Keep child away from the filthy aspects of nature. Under no circumstance should your child be allowed to put something they find outside in their mouths.
3. Proper hygiene is essential to good parenting. Make sure your child bathes daily in fresh, clear water.
4. After your child has bathed, make sure that they are fully dried before dressing. If you put clothing on a damp child, chafing may occur.
5. Let your child have plenty of friends their own age. Exposure to adults outside of the family should be kept to a minimum.
6. Rest is a top priority for any child. Make sure their sleep space is free of any objects with no possibility of falling.
If these simple rules are followed then, Voila! You will have raised a successful child.

The dryer shots cracked me up. I’ve seen that yawn before, he is only seconds away from closing those eyes.
Where have you been? These last few posts feel like the Hey You I know. Welcome back honey!
This is the perfect mix of sarcasm, sweetness, humor and love that makes Hey You…well…Hey You. I love the story with photos.
By the way, the paint pic is hilarious. And, as for the dryer pics, my mom has some of my brother and I doing the same thing. Apparently kids like dryers. So do dogs. Chip (the special ed dog) really likes hopping up on top of the dryer door.
Love the dandelion puff photo. Reminds me of someone else I know! Both very sweet little boys, two of the three sweetest I’ve ever known.
