See! I Told You So
I wasn't surprised by the number of people who thought I was nuts for when I said that 10-year-olds needed sex education and lots of information about how to protect themselves from pregnancy and STDs. Most of the comments I got were, "I don't think kids are having sex that young." But a new study shows that I wasn't too far off the mark, at least when it comes to low-income kids (I grew up in a low-income community, so this matches my own observations).

Now if only I could convince some of my conservative friends to openly talk about sex with their kids...

Wanton violence in my home (Re-Post)
Thursday, May 03, 2007
 | Current mood:  cheerful My husband has been teaching my 4-year-old and 2-year-old daughers the joys of World of Warcraft. They're already addicted to fishing and pointing out "bad guys" to Daddy. My 4-year-old has already become an expert and enjoys telling Daddy that he should change his attack and movement strategies. I guess it's better than Barney, and it does teach them the usefulness of carrying around large weapons. I have a feeling that with the three of them playing WOW all day, I'm going to have a lot more time for myself. I think I'll take up sculpting or something. |

When My Daughter Discovered Jack Nicholson
Here's a memory from December 2007.
When my daughter was 3-years-old, she heard somebody on TV mention the name "Jack Nicholson." She was amazed. "Jack Nicholson! His name is Jack Nicholson? He must like to collect nickels."
Ahhh the cuteness.

Donkey Ass
My 5-year-old daughter just learned that the word "ass" has two meanings, so she is now jumping around the house and saying, "Look at my donkey." That's normal, right?

More terrifying than a horror flick
very sick daughter + mystery illness + pediatrician + "take her to the hospital emergency room now!" + 6 hours of waiting for test results = VERY SCARY NIGHT
Fortunately, it had a happy ending.

It's Really Only Funny for the First 30 Seconds
Did you know...
that if you suddenly start saying everything as if you were singing in a Broadway show, your kids will laugh for a little while, but eventually they'll just talk to you as if it's perfectly normal to act that way.
(I can't wait until they become teenagers and start inviting their cool friends over.)

How to Be a Damn Sexy Man
- Be a strong manly lad
- Sit with 2 little girls (make sure you have permission to do this)
- Read them a story (if it involves princesses and rainbows, you get bonus points)
- Make up silly voices for each character in the story (required!)
- Occasionally shout out, "Oh no! What's going to happen now?" as you read
- Skip the scary parts or replace them with humorous interpretations of the illustrations
- Let the kids turn the page
- Re-read pages as requested
- Say, "That was a good story," after the story is over.
- Then tell fart jokes to inspire giggles.

You know you're a mom when...
...you're walking down your street to your neighbors house, and you're wearing bright, cotton-candy pink pajamas covered with pictures of white fluffy bunnies (an outfit that is certainly less than Vogue) because your kids bought those pajamas for you as a Xmas gift (because they love pink and bunnies are cute). Yup, that's motherhood.

Kids Love Poop
My kids have discovered a new way to make every song and sentence funny. Just replace random words with the word poop!
Joy to the poop!
Happy poop day to you!
If you're poopy and you know it poop your hands.
Welcome to our poop.
This dinner is poopalicious.
Nice to mee you. How do you poop?
It's hours of entertainment. Try it for yourself.

Are we starting a colony?
A bunch of kids were playing make-believe in my house.
Suddenly I heard:
"OK, who wants to be the leper?!"

I'm not a Chicken
A song my 3-year-old daughter wrote:
Oh, we're all made out of meat,
But I don't know why
Because meat is chicken,
But I'm not a chicken,
But we're all made out of meat.
Oh, we're all made out of meat,
But I don't know why
Because meat is chicken,
But I'm not a chicken,
But we're all made out of meat.
