Mom.Dad.Chat

Want to have a laugh? I found these at Dave’s Daily on what kids have said:

• Jack was watching his Mom breast feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: “Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?”
• Melanie asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn’t remember any more. Said Melanie, “If you don’t remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.”
• Steven hugged and kissed his Mom goodnight. “I love you so much, that when you die I’m going to bury you outside my bedroom window.”

Other funny things that kids have said found at Parent Trap:

• “TNT.” — Given as an answer for a written spelling bee, when the teacher called the word “dynamite.”
• “There’s no one in there.” — 6 year old son, in response to seeing his father hanging pictures and tapping on the walls to find the support beams.
• “Daddy picked them up and looked underneath. I think it’s printed on the bottom.” — 3 year old son, when his mother asked how his father knew the genders of four new baby kittens.
• “The box says you can’t eat them if the seal is broken. I’m looking for the seal.” — A young son, examining the contents of a box of Animal Crackers.
• “Mommy, you said it would be a shot; instead it was a needle!” — Boy, overheard at the hospital.
• “How do you put make up on your mind?” — Girl, when told she should make up her mind.
• “I wish someone we knew would die so we could leave them flowers.” — 6 year old girl, upon seeing flowers in a cemetery.
• “Why don’t they just do what they did in 1899?” — On preparing for Y2K in 1999.
• My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, “62.” He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start at 1?”
• A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to “honor” thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, “Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?” Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, “Thou shall not kill.”
• A little boy was in a relative’s wedding. As he was coming down the aisle he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between bride’s side and groom’s side), put his hands up like claws, and roar. Step, step, ROAR, step step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. The crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. The little boy, however, was getting more and more distressed from all the laughing and was almost crying by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, “I was being the Ring Bear.”

Did you manage to have a good laugh over the above? Hope you did.

If you have curly hair and want it to look straight instead, you can always get a flat iron and restyle your hair. In fact, I know of a friend who has curly hair and she is always envious of people who have long straight hair.Anyway, to straighten one’s hair, the best option is to use ceramic flat irons. A high quality plate with hard ceramic coating will cause less damage to the hair. It heats up faster and will also straighten the hair easier. Some flat irons with lower quality plates may not have the ceramic heating element and if a cheap coating is used instead, it easily wears off and causes more damage to the hair.

If you want to buy ceramic flat irons, then you can hop on to www.misikko.com which carries a range of these products. You can read in detail how to choose a flat iron for yourself at the website. Since flat irons today is far gentler on the hair than what they used to be in the past, try straightening and restyling your hair to have that hairstyle you have always dreamed of.

Until today, I have yet to buy my son any toy guns although on many occasions, I have been tempted to do so. It is my husband who doesn’t really agree with having any toy weapons at home. His logic is toy weapons do not teach anything of value but instead encourage kids to imitate the violence they see on TV.

But I’m sure many of us grew up having a toy weapon or two at home. Did we end up harming others along the way? I don’t think so, right?

So, for this weekend, lets debate this:

Should we buy our kids toy guns or other toy weapons?

For last week’s question, feel free to click here.

In an effort to be slim, people resort to many ways to make themselves lose some weight. Some go the healthy way and join the local gym while others just starve themselves hoping that eating minimally would make them look better.

One of the popular ways to slim down is to eat diet pills. There are in fact many diet pills available in the market today, from phentermine to nuphedragen. However, before you resort to eating diet pills, you should always seek a doctor’s advice and recommendation.

Many stories have surfaced in recent years whereby people have bought pills online and after eating them over a period of time, their health actually deteriorated. So, if you plan to slim down by eating diet pills, caution should always be taken.

After years of marriage, sometimes, we just tend to take things for granted. Things just settle into a comfortable, or perhaps not so comfortable routine for both people. Nevertheless, it becomes a pattern that we ourselves can’t seem to break out of at times.

Can you relate to the above? Do you find yourself resembling the woman in any way?

One of the great things about the internet is we always have a choice when shopping for all sorts of goods. From electronic products to financial services, we can always compare prices, features and services before we commit to a purchase.

Some online stores actually have solid reputation when it comes to reliability or price competitiveness, giving shoppers ease of mind when they shop online. For instance, one can always find a best buy at www.buy.com. It has weekly deals and clearance sales on a range of goods from baby stuff to mobile phones.

So, the next time when you want to buy things online, just try to do a little search and you may just be able to get a good bargain.

In this day and age, not many expect the woman to be a virgin anymore when they walk down the aisle. Old practices and customs of the past requiring women to remain chaste until they marry has long been seen as discriminatory and reeks of double standards.

However, recently in France, a man seeked to annul his marriage to a woman who had lied that she was a virgin. The court agreed to the annulment because it deemed the lady misrepresented herself when it was clear that the man sees virginity as a pre-requisite to marriage.

Regardless of the religious considerations and undertones in the couple seeking the annulment, this case interests me because it does make me wonder whether men still prefer their women to be virgins these days.

No doubt many men will say that they don’t care with who their wives have slept with in the past. But my own husband has this opinion instead. He said that, sure, men will not harp about their partners not being a virgin and it would certainly not be a deciding factor when it comes to the question of marriage nowadays. But if given a choice, which man would not want his wife to have slept with no other person other than himself? How many men could honestly say that they have no preference whatsoever whether or not their wife have had a multitude of sexual partners in the past?

OK, this comes from an Asian man with a more conservative thinking, so obviously, there is a certain level of unfairness here. But it is certainly interesting to know how others view this issue of virginity. Care to share?
