I thought I would start a thread for the parents on the board. A lot of us have kids, and I thought it would be good if we had a thread where we could share the things our kids get up to, or give advice if they're sick, or support if they are starting a new school or whatever. Tell us things your kids say that make you laugh, cry, or just go "Awwww!" |

Awwww!!! Cool thread Clare. David called yesterday to tell us that he got a gig and is leaving for Africa in less than 2 weeks. Told his little sister M`ell about and she said oh really where in Africa? I said "Gambia". "Mom, why is he going all the way over there to gamble when he lives so close to Las Vega"? |

You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' ! I WAS ROBBED BY THAT DEVIL WOMAN | |

:lol: :lol: Charlotte was talking to me the other day, wanting breakfast, and said "Toast please, muffler." I thought, what the hell? What does she want a muffler for? What is she talking about? Then it clicked. She's started calling me Mother. |

Years ago David was playing baseball in little league. I went to watch him play and had Tim with me and he was around 3 years old at the time. He had been running around and playing in the leaves beside the bleachers. He came back and sat down directly in front of me. I noticed that he kept hunching forward and making groaning sounds and I thought something was wrong. So I asked him what he was doing. In a very loud voice he said, "I`m cracking my nuts". Of course I was embarrased beyond belief in front of the other parents. Then I saw that he had two pecans that he hand found on the ground.

Well I don't have kids, but I can share a story of what I did to my parents when I was little. I was very young and was learning everyone's names. My parents had someone stop by (I believe it was my brother's Sunday School teacher) and I had to share my new knowledge. So I stood there proudly and said "This is my dad Roger, this is my mom Linda, this is my brother Stacy and then pointed to the dog and said thats the f*cking dog Weezer" :lol: I wasn't that far off, that is what my dad always called it hahahaha. They were mortified needless to say! |

For Betsy: Charlotte was about eighteen months old, when she came racing in from our yard screaming "Nake, Mummy! NAKE!!" sh*t, I thought. We live in the bush and snakes can be a problem. I asked her to show me where the "nake" was, and armed with a large stick, went out to see what I could do. Meanwhile, Lottie is running around in circles, still screaming about the "nake", raced over to the back step, pointed and screamed "NAKE!!!" I couldn't see a damn snake. Lottie was adamant. She crouched right down and was insisting there was a snake. I went over and took a closer look.... ....it was a caterpillar. |

Remember how funny they can be when you are scrubbing poop off you walls that your toddler has used for fingerpaint. |

What I put my poor mother through! Betsy, I recalled I took one of my mom's lipsticks and painted the wall under my dad's desk (on wallpaper) and she didn't find it until a few months later when they went to re-arrange the furniture. It never did fully come out :lol: Also when I was about 2 I somehow got ahold of a jar of Vasoline. I was just in my diaper and was smart enough to cover my entire body in the vasoline. My mother kept trying to pick me up to put me in the tub and try to get it off, but I kept slipping through her hands. She had to wash me how many times cause it didn't want to come off :lol: |

My two oldest were a year apart. Melissa being the older one was into everything and David was more than willing to follow her lead. When she was about 2 1/2 I had to run to the bathroom and I left them at the table with their lunch. When I got back Melissa had gotten into the pantry and David was covered in Flour, Coffee grounds, Chocolate syrup, and cooking oil. Then there was the time she locked herself in her bedroom and couldn`t unlock the door. I couldn`t take it off the hinges because they were on the other side. I ended up calling the fire department to come and break into her window as she was on the second floor. |

Holly, I was telling your Vaseline story to my mom just this second, and she told me that when I was a toddler, I had cradle cap. So she was constantly putting Vaseline on my head for it. My brother was just then crawling. I took an entire jar of the stuff and slathered a two inch layer of it all over his head!! Mom washed and washed, but wherever he crawled and bumped his head in to the wall, he left a stain! :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Some really great stories, people. :lol: I love the 'nake' one, Clare.
When I was a very little kid, I had this habit of waking up very early in the morning and telephoning people, which made my parents very popular as I got all of our relatives out of bed at 3 or 4 a.m. to answer the 'phone. I also managed to superglue a lump of coal to my hand when I was about three years old, which was interesting.

As I new-ish parent, I am starting to experience some of these stories. :lol: :lol: As a kid myslef (I wasn't always this mature believe it or not) I remember my dad would show me all these "magic tricks" where large items seemed to be mysteriously disappearing either into his ear or his nose. One of the times I made a bid to get into the Magic Circle I had to be taken to Hospital with stones stuck up either nostril. When I say stones, it was closer to boulders. I blame that incident on the large hooter I developed in adulthood. |

Then there was the time that Melissa and David were making pretend emergency phone calls on their play phones. One day they used the real phone and called 911 to report the house was on fire. I had no idea that they had made the call. My phone rings and I pick up and a frantic 911 operator is saying ma`am get out of the house the fire department is on the way. Off in the distance I can hear the sirens drawing closer to my house. She obviously had no sense of humor, she didn`t find it funny when I explained that my 3 and 4 year old had been playing with the phone without my knowledge. |
