As she's eating dinner the other evening, with me cooking at the stove, with no apparent trigger:

"Oh, dad, I forgot to ask you.  Does your thingy have hair on it?"

Game over.

[MA_PE]

"Oh, dad, I forgot to ask you.  Does your thingy have hair on it?"

That begs the question...when was she going to ask you when she forgot the first time?

 

[Supe]

Don't know, don't want to know. No more hot dogs for dinner, though.

Interesting article on raising kids.  It would seem that most if not all here tend to follow these (common sense?).

It's exhausting and I am ready for it to be over... sad but true..

Here comes birthday party season.  My son has been invited to 4 of them between last month and this month.  I want my weekend afternoons back.

 

[snickerd3]

people around here don't go to birthday parties.  Minisnick has attended two classmate parties (outside of his BBF) and the mom's were all complaining that they couldn't get enough people to make the minimum # so they were paying more than what was being used or begging others to come.

That's why we stopped doing parties for Junior.  We just opt to let her and a couple friends go to the trampoline place, bowling, ice rink, etc.

Just got done having mini-Ram's birthday at school.  Much better alternative to doing at home.  I'm sure once he gets a bit older and we get the invites I'll be complaining with the rest of y'all.

I'm not sure how many more times I can tell minisnick to make sure you watch for people before you swing the bat at tball practice with a straight face.  He has managed to hit kids at the last two practices.  I see him look, then these younger kids just walk into his swing.  The baseball league really isn't enforcing the age limits they create....but that is another rant all together.  It is getting to the point that I don't give a F anymore.  The other kids parents need to be teaching/reminding not to walk infront of someone holding a metal bat!!!!!

When I was 10 or 11 years old, I went to a five day golf camp with a few friends at the beach back in CT.  The $6/hr teenage instructors emphasized the importance of "everyone stay put until EVERYONE is done" while standing at the driving range.  

This was Monday at the camp.  

Sure enough, as I wound up my back swing, I felt a thud.  I caught the kid right in the temple with the curved end of the driver head.  I looked at him, he looked at me; he began sobbing instantly as the blood started pouring from his head like a horror movie.

The instructors panicked, and their intense medical training kicked in as they held two or three single ply napkins up to the gaping wound in his head.  While this may come as a surprise, their first aid attempt was largely unsuccessful.

By the time EMS arrived, the kid was passed out and white as a ghost.  I felt bad at the time, and the kids parents called my parents to assure that it was his own stupid fault, and that he ended up with a "considerable" number of stitches in the side of his head.

He returned to camp on Friday.  I do suspect that I must have clocked him pretty hard, because my last memory of camp is him sprawled out on the putting practice green, using the putter like a pool cue to shoot practice balls into the cup.  

That said - I'm with you.  It is not your responsibility as a parent to the offset the stupidity of another parent's precious little Darwin Award winner.

My son's friends have another two birthday parties next weekend and we just went to one last weekend.  I wish they all did it at school..

 

[snickerd3]

Not sure how old minisnick is, but my son's first tee ball league used wiffle bats (I think he was 6).  the 20yo (hot) female instructor was putting the ball on the tee.  she released and must have thought it was going to fall off again so she went to reach for it just as mini-MA swung mightly and clocked her right in the head.  Luckily it was a wiffle bat and she wasn't really hurt.

You'd think the instructors would be damn sure that all's clear if they're letting the kids play with metal bats.
