If Wombie's a girl

At 15 weeks (yesterday) all is going well. L hovers between peeing and (occasionally) crying. I'm starting to think there's just too much water in her. For my part, I mostly just wonder around. It's all very surreal, but that's another post. We started discussing the upcoming "is it a boy/ is it a girl?" occasion, and that got me thinking:
What lessons would I want my daughter to learn? If I could tell her something, what would it be? So here I go (all the wisdom I have could probably fit into wombie's little pinky):
1. Don't trust boy's with fast cars, drinks with pink umbrellas, or girls who chase after boys who drink drinks with pink umbrellas. None of them are for real!
2. Shit Happens. Rather fall down, break a few plates or fail a test or two, than avoid problems. You can learn so much more from mistakes and hurt, than from avoidance.
3. There is no such thing as a normal person. We are all broken, hurt and come from really messed up families. Accept it! Expect the best from everyone, and try not to get disappointed if they let you down. It'll happen just like shit!
4. Always check there's toilet paper before you close the door in the toilet. Some embarrassment can be avoided.
5. Fall in love and marry the guy who makes you laugh, treats you like a princess and is your friend. Anyone else is just a chump and you deserve better! Let him pay for dinner, give you his jacket when it's cold, and open the car door for you. Only bring home a boy who has a ring in his pocket.
6. Choose your friends carefully - they reflect who you are! Find friends you can trust. Cherish them, be faithful to them, and always defend them. Very few people understand the real value of a friend. Quality always beats quantity. (You can learn from your mom on this one).
7. Kindness and compassion are not negotiable. They cost nothing. Never let someone else's bad behaviour change your response or behaviour.
8. Make-up and jewelry might make you look pretty on the outside, but won't help what's going on on the inside. Never let it change who you are. And on that note: I believe you should only wear make up when you in your 20's and only if you going to a fancy dress party!
9. Bono, not Jesse McCartney, Lennon's okay, not Cliff Richards, Lady Gaga in secret.
10. No alcohol, sex or drugs. No! Never! Nooit(???)!
11. Life's too short not to make the effort.
12. Never cheat. Not in tests or on people.
13. Popularity fades. Don't worry about it. "Weird" is always in!
14. No tattoos unless you in a band. No piercings unless you in a band. No funky hair unless you in a band. No being in a band! No! Never! Nooit!
15. Don't be a drama queen. No one likes it.
16. Choose a team and stick with them whether they win or lose. In our house, it's the Sharks. Don't be a sore loser. Don't rub your victory in the face of others. It's just not nice.
17. Learn to cook at least one good meal.
18. If you can't carry it, you've packed too much and probably don't need it all. Only take what you need. If 10 apples are available, you can still only eat one!
19. It's not your right! You don't have the right to very much. You do however, have a choice. Use it wisely.
20. I love you the most. I might mess up, hurt you, say the wrong thing, act insensitive, not listen when I should, say "no" when I should have said"yes", but it's all just my way of saying, I love you!

Well, let's see how this one works for us!
What I've learnt so far: I actually don't know very much - so what the heck am I passing on advice for? But I saw this on another site. Hope it's true:

My child, if as a baby you were sometimes comforted by my loving care, and if your heart preserves the memory of those moments, I hope you will place your trust in this advice, which is prompted by my love for you, and that it will help you to be happy.
