Advice For Andrea, Ages 0 - 12
1982: Make friends with the dog.
1983: The red dot in the middle of your forehead will go away. Goats also don't mean you any harm personally.
1984: Barbie's hairline gets brown if you dunk her in water.
1985: Sit down in the shopping cart at Flower Time. If you don't, one day you'll be driving home late one night and it might occur to you that the reason you're unhappy with your life is physiological and perhaps partly due to an accident with a shopping cart that could have been avoided.
1986: Three years old is too young for piano lessons. Say no. Ask for another tub of the big Legos.
1987: It's OK to tell Mrs. Grobluski you really, really have to go to the bathroom.
1989: Although it won't really be your fault, when Mom is in bed with a broken neck in a brace, don't ask her about breakfast.
1991: Quit Brownies-you're only doing it because everybody else is. Ask for more help with long division-later on, you will love it. Don't fight Mom about GATE. You will like it.
1992: Tell them you already play the piano and clarinet is for suckers and old men. But you're the one who put down clarinet as your number one, because during the music test all the girls put flute and clarinet, when the boys put down the instrument you really wanted to play: trumpet.
1993: Actually keep in touch with Mr. LaGrega when he gives you his copy of "Where the Sidewalk Ends." He'll come to your high school graduation seven years down the road and you'll wish you did.
1994: You're going to win the school spelling bee and make it to the state bee, so if I were you, I'd learn how to spell "sesquipedal" ASAP. Also, glasses and braces get a bad rap. In two years, you'll be a brainy swan with straight teeth and a boyfriend.
