Secrets of life for young boys growing up

A friend at the Coffee Scene today let me in on his 'secrets of life,' lecture he gave his two growing boys as their world suddenly included girls. He wisely told his sons to:

1. Always have clean fingernails.

2. Always have clean shoes.

3. Learn how to dance.

4. Smile and laugh a lot.

5. Let them talk about themselves... and listen.

Y'know... that works in lots of situations.
