Things I Know to be True, List Number Three

1. You should never open the cheese before you need to because you will just eat it in tiny little slices.

2. It doesn't matter how careful you are with your children's attitude to gender, as soon as they reach school age someone else's kids will tell them boys don't cry at sad things and only girls wear pink.

3. It is always worth spending money on an excellent haircut.

4. Dogs leave massive holes in the material plane when they are dead, or even just not where you expect them to be.

5. It is impossible to feel gloomy on the first day it is warm enough outside not to need your coat.

6. If your child saves up all the toilet rolls to make a forest for dinosaurs you should definitely find the time to do it. My child did this once and I put it off and put it off and never made the forest. Seven years later I still feel bad about it.

7. Running away for a while sometimes works.

8. The investment Birmingham is making in its infrastructure will pay off.

9. Waiting is hard.

10. The Buzzfeed '50 people you wish you knew in real life' is always funny, however many times you've looked at it. I've looked so many times and I still like it just as much as I did the first time.
