The Three Year Old Diet

George Bernard Shaw said it best, "Youth is wasted on the young."

If I could bottle three year old energy, there's no telling what I could accomplish.

I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon watching the oddly entertaining Disney Stars on Ice with my adult pals and their extremely enigmatic three year old daughter. For every one of our steps, she took about thirty -- often darting ahead of us because she was impatient with our progress, then returning to encourage us along.

Three year olds have only two speeds -- on and off. If she's not going one hundred miles an hour, she's asleep in her car seat. That's all there is.

Forget French women not getting fat, you need to move like a three year old if you have any hope of being svelte into your forties.

If you look up "parenting" in the dictionary, they should forget the words and just have the shot you've used in this blog.
