#10: Gold hair was only cute on Goldilocks

Life Lesson 10: Gold hair was only cute on Goldilocks. 

This life lesson is very similar and relevant to the previous. (Life Lesson 9) 

It's also in a sense a part B of Life Lesson 9. 

When Dalton's mom died his hair, instead of dying it a blonde, it actually turns out to be a shade of gold. I think blonde can be good on some people, but blonde, na it was only ever good on one person. I personally would like to think that Goldilocks was pretty upset when she saw where he tried to take her hairstyle.  

Have you ever had a bad hair experience? Ever met someone who mistakenly ended up trying to steal Goldilocks' hairstyle?  

#9: Don't let your mom cut/dye your hair unless she is licensed.

Life Lesson 9: Don't let your mom cut/dye your hair unless she is licensed. 

This is one of those life lessons that are useful in every part of life. 

The origin of this one is that one year right before camp, Dalton decided to let his mom cut and dye his hair. Let me tell you, Dalton, his mom, and all of us learned a lot that year. That was actually the summer that Life Lessons With Tony and Friends was started. 

From Dalton's hair cut/dying experience we learned that sometimes, most times, it is good to go to a professional who is licensed. Usually if you don't go to a licensed professional you may end up with hair that is nicked, discolored, messed up, not what you want, etc. 

I think most all of us have a bad haircut, whether be by a friend, relative, or someone at barber shop/hair salon. Usually if you know a good licensed professional then you should definitely go to them first. 

Have you ever had a bad hair cut experience?

#8: Don't let your girlfriend in room if you have cut outs in there.

 

 Life Lesson 8: Don't let your girlfriend in room if you have cut outs in there. 

This is one of those life lessons that can sometimes have exceptions to. 

Also, in case you were wondering, "cut outs" are those big cardboard cut outs of characters that places usually put up to promote a new movie or video game. 

Some of us are awesome enough to get them from the store before they throw them away. And if we are, then we may put them in our room, or hangout places, or anywhere. 

Well, sometimes some girls aren't really big fans of guys having these in their rooms. (even if the girl might secretly lust after a poster of Jacob or Edward on their wall) Which sometimes may not make sense to some of us. 

Though, other times we may have a girlfriend who thinks that said cut outs are awesome! That's where the exception comes in. If you have a girlfriend who thinks their awesome, then keep them and show them off to her, but if not, then you may want to make sure if this is the right girl, or may want to not let her in if you have cut outs in your room. 

#7: Ranch can not be used in moderation.

Life Lesson 7: Ranch can not be used in moderation.

This one has also been called "you can never use too much ranch.  

Ranch Dressing... Whether we will admit it or not, almost all of love it. It first started off as something we would put on our salads, but then someone somewhere had this great revelation; they decided they would start putting ranch on other things. Soon after this person had things great revelation, people started putting it on almost everything. People would put it on their chicken, pizza, spaghetti, shrimp, veggies, saltine crackers, and many other great foods.  

One day while at camp, Devin and I, who both love using Ranch Dressing on many foods realized something; that when using Ranch dressing, you can't use it in moderation. Almost anyone who loves using Ranch Dressing will agree to this. 

Also, anyone will tell you, one packet of ranch is never enough, you always need one more or need a bottle of it. 

I believe this video will help prove that you truly can't use Ranch in moderation. 

#6: Don’t cut a hug into a kiss.

Life Lesson 6: Don't cut a hug into a kiss.

This is probably one of the first life lessons that doesn't really have a story behind it. We just kind of thought of this one after we came up with Life Lesson 6.

I guess in a sense it is pretty self explanatory. It's a well said life lesson that many people should know about. It's rather helpful in any dating situation, especially when you and your significant other first start dating.

When your significant other wants to go for a kiss, they will go for a kiss. Guys, don't rush into a kiss, most girls don't like that and appreciate it when you take it slow.

If she wants to keep hugging, well then keep hugging. All things happen when they're supposed to, at just the right moment.

If she doesn't want a kiss yet, then don't cut a hug into a kiss.

It's as simple as that.




ps. sorry no picture this time. 

#5: Don’t go for a high five when she goes for a hug.

Life Lesson 5: Don’t go for a high five when she goes for a hug.

This occurred when Dalton had some trouble in the female area. Which you'll actually see happen in a few life lessons. ha.

This one though, happened one night after the SCIPHC Camp Meeting. Dalton had some interest in Brooke; so when they went to leave, she went for a hug and for some reason he went for a high-five instead. We still have no idea why he did this, he doesn't even know why!

Doing something of this sort can definitely send the wrong message, or completely change the message that you originally wanted to send. If you have an interest in someone, you shouldn't really go for the high-five, especially if she goes for a hug. Honestly, no matter who you might accidentally go for a high five when they go for a hug, it will be very awkward! It could change every part of your day.

To this day, we still make jokes to Dalton about this incident, and he feels shamed about it and has no idea why he did it. He probably will never know why! ha.

Either way, I think we all learned a good lesson from this. You should never go for a high five when she goes for a hug.

#4: Never slurp spaghetti on the first date.

Life Lesson 4: Never slurp spaghetti on the first date.

This was founded one day at camp, as many. ha. Devin and I were eating dinner and there were some kids sitting near us. We had spaghetti that night. One of the kids sitting across from us was chowing down on his spaghetti like crazy! He was going at it! There was sauce all on his face, it was humorous. We just simply looked at him saying, “hey man, life lesson 4, never slurp spaghetti on the first date.” Obviously he won’t be going on many dates soon, but still, it never hurts to go ahead and give the advice. He asked us why not. We responded by telling him that when you slurp spaghetti it gets everywhere; all over your face, your clothes, everything! And we told him that most girls don’t like that. 

You shouldn’t slurp spaghetti on the first date, but sometimes you can wait and do it on say the 12th or 16th date. She might be comfortable enough by then. Just don’t get too sloppy with your slurping! Forks can twist for a reason. 

Go out, have good dates, but don’t slurp your spaghetti!

For most people this life lesson is common sense, for others this is new and fascinating knowledge to add to their book of knowledge. 

I hope you have learned a lot from this, as you usually do from Life Lessons With Tony and Friends.
