Children

I am not inclined to pay a lot of money for children’s shoes, as they will either tear them apart or outgrow them in six months. This past week, I bought Princess a $40 pair of moccasins. She has reached the point where our shoe sizes are the same, so when she outgrows these, I will wear them for at least a decade. The same thing with the $45 maryjanes we bought for back to school last fall. She’d better enjoy my generosity while it lasts, because when she goes up one more size, it’s back to $10 shoes for her. Meanwhile, I’ve threatened her with sanctions if she dares to scuff those high-priced adult shoes. Or walk through mud in them. Oh, she’s no bigfoot, I just have small feet. Still, I have a hard time coming to grips with a kid who’s feet are bigger than mine. They grow up so fast!

Ryan and Andrea of Rattle-n-Roll create baby annoucements styled after rock-n-roll gig posters! They’ll make announcements to send out, and posters for your nursery or as keepsakes. Pick your template and colors, or they can custom-design yours. (via Grow-A-Brain)

How many sequels to The Land Before Time do we need, exactly?
TEA TIME
(Thanks, Rich!)
I gave my baby daughter, a little ‘tea set’ as a gift and it was one of her favorite toys.
I was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when she brought me a little cup of ‘tea,’ which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my wife came home. I made her wait in the living room to watch the little princess bring me a cup of tea, because it was, “just the cutest thing!”
My wife waited, and sure enough, here she come down the hall with a cup of tea for me and my wife watches as I drink it up, then the wife says, “Did it ever occur to you that the only place our daughter can reach to get water is the toilet???”
SICK CHILD
(via Phil’s Phun)
A little nine year old girl was in church with her mother when she started feeling ill.
"Mommy," she said. "Can we leave now?"
"No," her mother replied.
"Well, I think I have to throw up!"
"Then go out the front door and to the back of the church and throw up behind a bush."
In about two minutes the little girl returned to her seat. "Did you throw up?" her mother asked.
"Yes," the little girl replied.
"Well, how could you have gone all the way to the back of the church and return so quickly?"
"I didn't have to go out of the church, Mommy." the little girl replied.
"They have a box next to the front door that says, 'For the sick'."
CHILDBIRTH
(Thanks, Rich!)
Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.
The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked.
pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry.
The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed.
Kathleen quickly responded, "He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place......smack his ass again!"

Having three means you have to shift to a zone defense.
