Also, when you get home, don't immediately go running outside to play with your friend. If one of you gets the brilliant idea to make a giant mud puddle with the hose, be the older person and walk away.
And whatever you do ... don't plaster a mud pie directly on the front of your shirt. The stain won't fully come out and you'll ruin your school clothes.
Note: the kid in the picture is not me, but this is pretty much exactly what I looked like that fateful day.

This post brings up an important point: where are all the photos of your childhood that coincide with the stories?!?!
p.s. yes, definitely the best part of that other story is that I thought the St. Louis Arch was a rock. And then when we drove into town and saw the real arch I said "ohhh..." and everyone questioned my outburst and I explained and they judged me. :)
good advice. i will read this as a bedtime story to my kiddos tonight.
I was really hoping that this was you, but the story is still a treasure.
