Advice For Daughters

Say your prayers.  Read your Bible.  Change your underwear.  Brush your teeth.  Be nice.  Different isn't bad it's just different.  Don't talk to strangers unless they have good candy.  Clean your room.  Take care of your laundry.  Feed your dog. NEVER TAKE A FAUCET OFF WITHOUT TURNING OFF THE WATER FIRST.  Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and your soul and with all your mind. Don't buy backpacks from Wal-mart.  Don't drink from the faucet or the toilet (unless you're a dog). Shave your legs.  Call your Mom.  Don't wear too much eyeliner.  Don't talk to boys (unless you're engaged to them). LOVE EACH OTHER.
