Bud Caldwell’s Rules and Things for Having a Funner Life and Making a Better Liar Out of Yourself
If you got to tell a lie, make sure it’s simple and easy to remember.
Whenever a adult tells you to listen carefully and talks to you in a real calm voice do not listen. Run as fast as you can because something real terrible is just around the corner. Especially if the cops are coming.
If a grown-up ever starts a sentence by saying “Haven’t you heard,” get ready, ‘cause what’s about to come out of their mouth is gonna drop you headfirst into a boiling tragedy.
When you wake up and don’t know for sure where you’re at and there’s a bunch of people standing around you, it’s best to pretend you’re asleep until you can figure out what’s going on and what you should do.
The older you get, the worse something has to be to make you cry.
Never, ever say something bad about someone you don’t know –especially when you’re around a bunch of strangers. You never can tell who might be kin to that person or who might be a lip-flapping, big-mouth spy.
If a adult tells you not to worry, and you weren’t worried before, you better hurry up and start ‘cause you’re already running late.
When a adult tells you they need your help with a problem get ready to be tricked – most times this means they just want you to go fetch for them.
You have to give adults something that they think they can use to hurt you by taking it away. That way they might not take something away that you really do want. Unless they’re crazy or real stupid they won’t take everything because if they did they wouldn’t have anything to hold over your head to hurt you with later.
When you make up your mind to do something, hurry up and do it. If you wait you might talk yourself out of what you wanted in the first place.
