Hello boys and girls. Nobody likes to get hurt, yet accidents happen every day. If you remember the following safety tips that your mother should have taught you, you will be much more likely to avoid trips to the hospital.

1. Don't run with scissors or any other sharp object for that matter.
When you run, you could fall, if you run with scissors in your hands, you could fall on them and stab yourself. That would really hurt not to mention make a real mess as blood would gush out everywhere. Don't do it.

2. Don't play with matches or lighters.
Not only could you burn down your house, a forest or your school but you could burn yourself as well. Getting burned hurts and can also be very dangerous if the burn gets infected. It can also cause blisters that can ooze with puss. It's really gross. It also stinks. Human flesh was not made to be cooked.

3. Always look both ways before you cross the road.
There is an old joke that goes like this...

Q: What is the last thing that goes through a flies mind before it hits your windshield?
A: his butt.

No ambulance driver ever really wants to scrape you up off the side of the road and no driver of a car wants their insurance rates to go up. You have to make sure that there are no cars coming before you cross. Sometimes the driver won't see you or can't stop in time. This would really be a bumbler as you could also break your neck and end up in a wheel chair for the rest of your life. You really don't want to become the next fly.

4. Don't take candy from strangers.
In fact, you shouldn't go anywhere near strangers. There are bad people out there who could grab you and drag you off in their cars and take you away never to be heard from again. You could be taken out in the woods, raped and murdered. You never know who the wacko's really are. It's always best just to avoid them.

5. If somebody is trying to hit you, duck.

It's always best to get out of the way of a flying fist. You could get a broken nose or a couple teeth knocked out. If it's a TKO quality punch, you could fall to the ground and bang your head off of a rock. You could also end up with a black eye, and everybody would know that you lost the fight.

6. Don't stick a fork in an electrical outlet.
This is the quickest way to fry human flesh imaginable. Millions of electrons would shoot through your body. Your feet would leave burn marks on the floor. You will end up looking like a half cooked piece of chicken from a microwave. Just don't do it.

7. Don't get too close to the edge.
You could fall off a cliff cracking your head off of the rocks splitting it open while your brains gush out.

Follow these seven safety tips and you are that much more likely to live a good long healthy life.
