Living to 100

Evelynn is fascinated with the number 100; its importance is illustrated on her number chart. She believes it to be to the largest number ever (at least what her first grade mind can comprehend). She has made it her personal goal to live to 100 and knows that she only has 94 years to go. No sweat, she's got this. And a list of what she should do to make it that long:

1. Eat only enough. Not too much. Listen to your stomach.
2. Get plenty of sleep because the days don't go well when you don't get enough sleep at night.
3. Excercise by running in place as fast as you can and as long as you can. (She's working on building up her time.)
4. Don't get frustrated with school. You have to learn to grow up.
5. Color inside the lines when you are coloring.
6. Keep your room clean and make your bed.
7. Don't die.
8. Listen to your Mommy and Daddy.
9. Ask before doing things that could be dangerous.
10. Try not to be bad.
11. Learn about God.
12. Be happy about the things you don't like to do (like school).
13. Be kind.
14. No fighting, no fussing, no whining.
15. Don't listen to the Devil. He's bad.

She might be onto something. I told her she's off to a good start and just might make it to 100.
