Lessons to Relearn

How old am I??? 
Here are some things I already know, but somehow forget about (and suffer the consequences).

If a Cheerio or a potato chip or a piece of popcorn gets dropped on the floor and not immediately picked up, it will get stepped on and rendered into crumbs that spread everywhere. 

If you trust a kid (or a kid-like man, it seems) with a glow stick, it will eventually be bent and played with enough that it will leak glowing fluid all over everything.

If you grease and flour a baking pan for a cake, then dump the excess flour into the sink, it will get wet and dry as hard as cement.

If you decide to soak a dirty pan in water, then don't take care of it right away, it will create a wonderful environment for fruit flies.  And if one of those pans happens to have beans in it, you can count on a magnificent stink!

If you don't take care of a problem right away...say, a condensate pump for your central air conditioner...you can count on a bigger problem....say, water leaking all over the carpet near the pump.

If you make a list of minor repairs, then start on them one at a time, you suddenly ask yourself why you didn't take care of them sooner!

You get the picture....
