Listography is back over at Kate Takes 5, and this week she is featuring the top 5 truths - according to women. You see women (and this is an important distinction to make) tell the best truths, the ones that don’t stop at simple fact, but include all possible intimations and hidden meanings. Women are even good at reading into a situation and finding all the meanings that aren’t there! So women have it covered. Now, add an 8-year-old into the equation and you will discover the most sublime truths ever known to mankind (and women).
Top 5 Truths – according to women (of the small variety):
- Men are here to do our bidding. Particularly those men who have been silly enough to assist in the conception of female offspring. Fathers have no chance of asserting themselves with their daughters, given that they wrap themselves around little fingers just so delightfully. It is sheer glee just to watch them try. Ask any Dad who has ever tried to tackle the hair wash…
- Girls are always right. Even when we’re wrong. FACT
- There can never be too much toilet paper. It’s a long drive from London to Barcelona. French service “aires” leave a lot to be desired. Consequently I carry a 9-roll pack of Andrex on my person at all times. As for urgency and a lack of facilities, I’d rather risk a bladder infection than squat in a bush. You get where I’m going with this..?
- Glitter is a fact of life. No girl I know can exist without it.
- Little brothers are produced with the sole purpose of furthering their older sisters’ eventual career. Controlling, arguing, twisting the truth, and breaking down the will to live are all excellent characteristics of a top lawyer…

Ha ha ha – of course girls are always right – always – and what else are little brothers for?
Girls are always right, and glitter cures the world’s woes – spot on, as always, GG! x

Chatty! You joined it! I remember when it was all babababagagagamamamadada! Now you’re being #funee! Welcome on board my tiny friend!
True, true, and true! I especially liked the brother rule! Sadly, or happily, I did not have a brother.
And, yes, girls (and moms) are always right!
I feel quite sorry for my son reading this! But actually in this house the balance of power is exactly that

Oh, too, too true. I can’t speak for 5 as I have no sons, but as I DO have two daughters -and a husband who struggles with the hair wash – I can vouch for the intro and 1-4!

Totally agree about the loo paper, but still think glitter is evil. Once touched, glitter sticks and what sort of lawyer looks convincing with glitter on her chin?
Fussy Eater’s Mum recently posted..It was all panic this morning.
Mmmm. Good point. May have to shift to sequins for my professional life
I agree with all of these. What kind of girl does not have glitter?

Loo roll, glitter, malleable brothers and men to do our bidding. Life’s essentials. An excellent summary.

Wow. I’m very impressed- she’s got it down to a fine art this girl!
It is a very long drive from London to Barcelona! And yes to glitter, and anything that sparkles – precious metal, jewels…
I wish I had her confidence. And I agree about the loo roll.
