Oh Zim, I like! I think a lot of it can apply to sons too.

That was wonderful!

(The link for the list for sons was at the bottom. It's also terrific.)

These are great and I'm sure we could all add more. One of my favorites is 18. have a firm handshake- I just cringe everytime I shake hands with a damp dishrag.

Let's add some more ( for more mature girls)

Manage your own money and don't feel you can't do it. Experience will be your guide

Don't co-mingle money with a boyfriend. Pay your own way as much as you can especially until you feel there is no quid pro quo.

Learn how to change a tire, change your own oil and minimum upkeep on a car

Learn to speak your mind in a forceful yet polite way.

Get involved with your community in the way you can contribute the most.

Read newspapers and news magazines but remember "believe half of what you read and none of what you hear"

Ah, Zim, they are both great lists. Numbers 2 and 3 on the son list really hit home for our house right now! I'm bookmarking for later, as I suspect different items will be more salient at other times.
