Over the last few weeks I've realized signs can be very helpful. I found the first example while I was helping my son prepare for a boy scout camp out. He was in charge of the food, which meant he had to use the food tub. That's where I learned my first important lesson.
Did you know you shouldn't store babies in large plastic tubs with a lid? I didn't either. But, lo, the vision below spoke otherwise. I wonder if letting my kids sip Windex straight from the bottle had been a bad idea, too? I'll have to check.

Now all those past visits from Child Services are starting to make sense.
I also learned things from signs while visiitng Disney World with my family over Spring Break. Case in point: Despite Disney's cheerful atmosphere, the park frowns on overt partying. These signs were everywhere:
I also finally learned how to properly wash my hands. Scrub hands after applying soap. Thank you, Brawny! (Insert trade mark sign here.)
So THAT'S how it's done!
In all seriousness, I found little commercial sponsorship in the parks. Just look at this street scene below. It's a photo I took while strolling around Disney's Hollywood Studios. You have to look hard but, believe it or not, there's a corporate logo hidden in there. I'll give you a few minutes to find it.
Still haven't found it yet? Don't feel bad. It's hard. I'll give you another minute...
Okay, I'll stop teasing Disney. Truth be told, we had a FABULOUS time. It's one of our favorite places to vacation. We hit Universal Studios, too. It was our first time and we loved it though I had to take Dramamine to keep up with my "intense rides are cool!" 12 year-old son. So when we finally got home, my daughter and I decided to do something soothing to relax. We chose to put a puzzle together. She chose a hard one but, luckily, there was a great picture on the box to help us.
Or so we thought...

"Lost in a Jigsaw," indeed! Seriously, what kind of sick puzzle maker puts an incorrect picture on the box? At least they owned up to it with that warning. Like I said, signs are helpful!
