The sooner we can all admit that we don't have a clue what's going on, the sooner we can all have a drink and commiserate what bad parents we are. LOL<BR/><BR/><B>Stewed Hamm</B>, my fancy pants college is a junior college that just dropped my degree program, but I'm not bitter. If they can't carry my journalism classes, I can't really expect them to tell me why the sky is blue! <BR/><BR/>Ahhh...the Encyclopedia Brittanica commercials of old. Wonder what that kid's up to these days? If it turns out he's living on the international space station, I will go buy a set of encyclopedias today. <BR/><BR/><B>Mrs. E</B>, if you want to practice on varrying ages of grandkids, I have a few you can borrow any time you'd like! We have them in models ranging from Precocious Preschooler, Ornery Elementary School Boy and Obnoxious Tween - take your pick! <BR/><BR/>I was telling Mom this story over the weekend and she just laughed and said, "You just figured out that we made you look it up becuase we didn't know?? Wow. We sure had you fooled."Redneck Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13506685036989431733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-44934519954373125032007-04-08T23:08:00.000-05:002007-04-08T23:08:00.000-05:00I babysat with a 3 and 1 year old on Saturday to h...I babysat with a 3 and 1 year old on Saturday to help out a friend. I changed 3 dirty diapers. I couldn't tell you how long it has been since I have done that. The toddlers were really cute and sweet. We made towers with boxes, toys and pillows and then knocked them down so we could do it again. I got to hold a sleeping one year old and pat him to help him sleep since his nose was all stopped up. I would be such a good grandma. Oh well!!!<BR/><BR/>I vaguely remember Cap'n N's questions. He was always told to look it up. We also had the encyclopedias and yes he did know how to use them. I think he knew deep down that I didn't have a clue so rather than ask he just went to the book case and looked it up. <BR/><BR/>Maybe he didn't ask too many of those questions because he didn't enjoy seeing my head spin around and smoke come out of my ears. I mean after being with smarta$$ kids all day my patience and mood weren't always receptive to "WHY?" questions. Mother of the Year was never in the realm of possibility where I was concerned. I loved the kid and did my best but....<BR/>Hey, he has become a fine upstanding although totally too neurotic young man and I am proud to be his Mother. <BR/><BR/>I must go to bed. I don't even know for sure what I'm writing about or why. <BR/><BR/>Keep doing you best in school. It will work out just right. Trust me. I'm old. I know these things.Mrs. Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954640693567531929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-595720120041534042007-04-08T03:08:00.000-05:002007-04-08T03:08:00.000-05:00What they're teaching you whippersnappers in your ...What they're teaching you whippersnappers in your fancy-pants colleges these days...<BR/>The short answer is that all the water vapor in the air makes it blue.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to your Encyclopedia story, now I can't get the image of that kid from the Britannica commercials out of my mind. (you know, the one who had a report due on space) From now on, he'll be reading all your blog posts in my head.Stewed Hammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289256821313634861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11314587.post-254805428254902202007-04-07T23:49:00.000-05:002007-04-07T23:49:00.000-05:00Girl.
