Which shoes to wear? :)
LOL... i only have three i can wear in the rain. One, the soles are falling off. The second is for ren faires. THAT is an easy decision.

No...

This is the one that deals with whether or not it would be better to simply step out of my children's lives or not. A little tougher.

Daughter: "Mummy, is Dad still coming over later?"
Me: "Yes, Love"
Daughter: " Cause I've got to talk to him about something really important."
Me: " Ok, if it's that important, why don't you give him a call and make sure you have some time with him when he gets here?"
Daughter: "Good idea!" *grabs phone and chats away in the next room*

20 minutes later, my ex knocks on the front door. I stumble over various toys getting to the door.
Daughter: " Mummy, you knocked over my project!"
Me: Oh dear . . . I'm sorry, Love. Which project? *Looking at the carpet and assorted toys lying around*
Daughter: " My daddy has to replace the batteries project! You're NOT good with that kinda thing - we know that . . . *patting my back sympathetically*
My ex: *Laughing* She called me and asked if I could bring along a " bunch" of batteries. . .
Me: *Looking around the room again, and now realising it's a whole bunch of electronic toys that she had lined up until i tripped over it*
My ex:"Let me get on with it. *Winking at me* Do you have any toys that needs battery replacement too? Or are you still good?"
Me: " :D "


I hope this is a true story, because it's priceless. :kiss:
 
Spidey (who's 6, for those who don't know): We're studying Indians next month at school, mama.

Me: Yeah? Well, I'll get in touch with your teacher on Monday, see if I can help.

Spidey: Do you KNOW any Indians, mama?

Me: *laugh* You could say that, son....your great-grandmother was full-blooded Choctaw. That makes grandma Choctaw, and me Choctaw.

Spidey: you mean I'M part Indian? Oh my god!

*************

Gotta love him. :D

Don't you just love kids? Tell Spidey I said it's okay to be part Indian. :rose:
 
Went 'Mushrooming' this morning - we have eighteen species on the kitchen table trying to work out which we can safely eat, this despite having an excellent book and internet access for identification purposes. Our neighbour (the mushroom expert) has annoyingly gone away for the weekend. The plan is to have Mushroom and Bacon Risotto - if we dare :D
 
Finally! The History Channel has its own website. I watched their video on the history of Halloween, and it made me smile.

Well... now I know why wild mushrooms are cooked in Risotto, it's so you don't notice the maggots amoungst the rice :eek: Fortunately, we noticed, the risotto went to the compost, just toast and fruit salad for supper. Damn it was such great fun collecting them all - but not if they have to go in the dustbin.
