Things to Do When You Discover Your Child Is a TP

11. Consider calling Lisa's mother for her brownie recipe.
12. Practice the Angus Forbes solution: Spend lots of time in prayer.
13. Mothers: Practice your horror movie scream... hysterical crying is also a plus.
14. Look on the bright side: No more driving carpools or begging to borrow the car!
15. Think about how to fashionably accesorize a jaunting belt/band, and see if you can score a matter tranporter for yourself.
16. Any time your child says, "what could possibly go wrong?" supply them with a detailed list: alien posession, Nazi mind control, mad monks, TV-obsessed villains, weather machines, killer mosquitoes, Roman slave masters, etc.
17. The next time you're running short on time, see if your kid can get a hold of Peter, the Time Guardian and see if he has a few minutes to spare you (literally!).
18. Invest in flood and hurricane insurance - no matter where you live.
