That one goes down as one of my more embarrassing moments in life! I love the unpredictability in children... I'm sure you'll be wonderful with your own someday!

Somebody sent me that email a while back...I spit liquids out of my nose while reading it...

I would like to say that if one boy can get into some intersting situations, try having twin boys. Oh and they are Gemini Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Mars in Sag, and Venus in Aries. They are inquisitive, and go getters! And they like to wholebody hurl themselves at you huggers too.

Life is so very interesting at my home. :grin

And as a parting remark...Boys are a lot different than Girls are.

Love,

Goatgirl

I know...I'm lovin' my little girl.

At only 18 mos, she walked back to her bedroom and *tucked herself in* one night when she was tired.

I tell that to my friends with boys and I get an evil glare in return

Here's an evil glare for ya!


I'm only kidding. My five-year old son goes to bed alright, but he gets up all night long and tries to get in bed with me. Usually it works because I'm asleep and I don't realize it. Any ideas on how to get him to stay in bed? Momma needs some sleep!

I don't have the slightest idea. Ours all still sleep in the same room as us, and I usually have at least one other person in the bed with me besides my husband. I just try to go with the flow. If you figure it out let me know! LOL

proxie and future ~

I laughed until I cried!! Svetlana, it's OK to be horrified by the ceiling fan thing.

Let's just say that I have a ceiling fan and a 9yo boy..... -- with Sun and 3 planets in Aries, Leo Rising and Leo Moon. Can you say 'busy' ?!?!? Something is up when there is no noise: investigate immediately!

Do you know everything about dinosaurs yet future, including how big their poop was???
Power Rangers and Bionicles CAN fly at our house.
And than Silly-String is a really neat thing to sneak up and spritz Mom with, then run away screaming and laughing.
Squirtguns are to be hidden in the bathroom on the sly, so you can squirt Mom when she brings clean towels in fresh from the dryer while you're in the bathtub.

I'm still chuckling.....
thanks!

Haha, I never did any of that. I never had that mischevious thing. I was an only child, and the perpetual "good boy".

And I guess I still am, really.

Okay. That's a lie. I was just too lazy to do anything.

Although, I did play with fire a lot.

I set a bag of pourpurri (sp?) on fire once by accident. Hahahaha

I love this thread

Heres another one
When my daughter lost her front teeth she had a hard time pronouncing her words. She loves chicken and when I would ask her where she wanted to eat she would say Kenfuckie Fried Chicken
I asked her so many times that she finally just said KFC

heres another good one, it happened to my neighbor.

She sent a lovely pot pourri package to her sons teacher for a xmas gift. The following day she found it in his backpack and asked him why he didn't give it to her.
He said he didn't think his teacher smoked pot

As one who birthed and raised three boys
(now all grown into fine young men) I would have to say;what is posted here is pretty on target- although, in no way does it accuratley depict the intensity of it all...

PS: I wouldn't have missed it for the world...
