by Deborah Shelton

group.
6. That "butt" and "poop" are two of the funniest and most
underrated words in the English language.
7. That when you're running late in the morning, every
single sock in the house will have mysteriously disappeared.
8. That the only way to truly appreciate a Scooby-Doo movie
is to watch it twice a day, every day, until the tape turns
to black and white.
9. That your friends are your friends until they wipe a
booger on your neck.
10. That when you're eating watermelon, clothing is
optional.
