There are some cartoons out there that are silly, stupid, completely pointless and only there for your entertainment. And then there are cartoons like Rugrats, which, if you’re a ’90s kid like me, can give you tons of life lessons. I mean, come on – when it comes to cartoons about babies, nothing can beat out characters like Tommy, Angelica and their gang of awkward friends.

Since I am obviously a fan of the show, I’ve put together a few life lessons I learned from watching Rugrats obsessively as I was growing up. Okay fine, they’re not all super serious, but who says all life lessons have to be that way? Check out 20 things I learned from Rugrats – in GIF form, of course.
