50 Things To Teach Your Daughters.
1. NEVER use scented tampons.
2. Always look people in the eye when you’re
talking to them.

They say a lot about a woman.

better than you.
6. Just because you can fit in the extra-small,
doesn’t mean you should be wearing it.

It’s the quality.

money tucked away for those times when life
isn’t treating you the way you want it to.

easy girls, but they don’t marry them.
22. Don’t be a sore loser.
23. If you decide you prefer women to men, your
Dad and I will not care, nor will we love you any
less. Just promise me you’ll take me to a gay
bar. I know I’d make you proud.
24. Don’t smoke cigarettes and never do
anything chemical.
25. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
26. A shot of vodka before shopping for
swimwear makes the whole experience much
more pleasurable.

anyone (unless he was a jerk first).

46. Tattoos are permanent, so think long and
hard before you get one – and where you get
one!
