OMG that is a HILARIOUS story!!!! ^_^
The P & L DAILY CHAT THREAD #1 - Anything goes!!!
Bwaaahaaaa ; 0 )
Oh, and by the way, I heard that KFC has four legged chickens : )
Perfect addition to my farmette! I love the unusual.
btw, love that snake story christy!
My son's high school science teacher convinced him that KFC had developed headless, footless, featherless chickens that they grew in labs hooked up to intravenous nutrients--when I pointed out that that would be prohibitively expensive and reproduction would be problematic he just dismissed me. I was getting an advanced degree in science at the time, but to him I was an idiot. Still am:0)
Hasn't PETA offered some sort of massive financial reward for anyone who can grow marketable meat from tissue cultures in the lab? Okay I'm getting sick......
Wasn't me with the snake story.....it was Tia. Funny story Tia!
Huh, the four legged chicken.....different looking but not as bad as I was guessing it would be.
Christy
Oh Barf Cat!!! LOL ...
Don't you know by now that all parents are idjits?? I have an M.S. and I am the most retarded Mother that ever walked according to my offspring..
But they love me anyway... LOL
And to think we taught them to talk! If only I had of known.
oh, yes they hate me and i sm stupid...
I was watching a Discovery Channel show that covers the cases of an extremely talented woman coroner--Dr. G. She is incredibly analytical and talented, solves cases no one should ever solve--But the show started and finished with her sending her oldest son away to college and all of a sudden--ZAP! She became an idiot!
Shhhh, don't tell my kids, but I'm deathly afraid of teenagers. I only have another month before my oldest is 13. Should I lock her up now or in a few more years?
I built myself a safe-room in the house. Reinforced concrete, hidden steel panel door, sound-proofed, --separate air circulation system and plumbing. Just stock it with food and water for seven years. The time pass more quickly than you think and you can sneak out from 6 am to 2 pm when they are sleeping. Gives you a lot of quality time with the chickens.
Oh man! I just want mine to not get killed, not get pregnant, and to graduate. College would be awesome. Am I asking too much in this day and age???
nope.... #3 just hit 17.. is a senior this year... fingers still crossed but so far batting 3 out of 3.. 1 more year..
I sure hope he knows I am VERY thankful!!
In the words of Mary Chapin Carpenter--"It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask."
Now that they are in college, mine seem to find my little eccentricities endearing rather than humiliating. I'm sure it gives them great horror stories for their peers.
Oh boy.........mine are only 5 & 7 and are already getting the lippy attitude and think I couldn't possibly know what I am talking about.........about ANYTHING! Gee whiz, despite the fact that I am teaching them about respect and am doing my best to reason with my son about how it could come to be that I may just know what I am talking about and why......I choose NOT to think about when they get older!! : P~
Christy
Christy don't worry, we all went through denial ; P
Catscan, love your safe room idea! my safe place is a spot on the river no one knows about or cares to go - might have to work! You sure hit the nail on the head with the sleeping time; however, may be a bit off on the wake-up time. seems to be more in the 4pm range; unless i make alot of racket! gotta love em, or we'd kill em. LOL Made it to 17 so far & I haven't yet.....yet, that is!
LMAO that story cracks me up
If it's any consolation somewhere around 25 you will suddenly become the smartest person they know! They will be amazed at how much you've learned in such a short time ^_^
MollyD whose sons are now both over 30!
wow i was nearly set up to start having kids u knom wife house and stuff lik that
u just set me back about 10 years with those stories
LOL
josh
Amen to Molly
LOL, my son is 29.. 30 can't come soon enough..lol
Dau is 33.. learned ALL those lessons.. smartests person on earth.. she'll tell you so!
Christy, you'll be ok.. no matter what.. at 13 they suddenly realize they didn't know anything at 10... at 16 they realize they were just plain dumb at 13.. and so on... it is amazeing to watch them grow within themselves.
Hey, my parents were the dumbest until I hit about 25. Then all of a sudden I couldn't believe what they learned; almost over night! Get told daily how much I don't know -- that's ok, wait til they have kids & work full time too!
I tell em, they zapped all my brain cells. Lost it the day I gave birth! Will come back once grandkids are born & they lose their brain cells...... Can't wait for that, PAYBACK!
lol
Oh yea that pay back is awesome. I will tell my grandson not to do something and it is like why nanna, i tell him because you will get hurt and he turns around and does it anyway and low and behold he gets hurt and looks at me like gosh how did you know.
oh boy, only have to wait until they are 25 or so huh?........digging that hole back in the sand, gonna go back in for awhile........just joking! (maybe) lol
I remember thinking that my dad was about the smartest person I knew too at around 25.....of course then again my eyes were also opened to his faults and the realization that he is in deed only human.
The way my sons brain works I am loving the moments when I can teach him a lesson......get him to see there are more to things than there appear to be on the surface. Like the time he was talking about just buying any animal at the auction just because he had the money for it and I taught him about all the other things you have to think about when buying an animal.......food, housing, purpose, etc before you buy that animal. He said WOW, he didn't even think about all this..........I of course still have to remind him when we are going to the sale. The other memorable one was when he said he wished he was grown up and really bummed about being a kid......so I set off on how lucky he was to be a kid and then told him of EVERY thing a grown up has to think about and worry about and he was all of a sudden very happy to be a kid again! Hee hee.....SCORE! I haven't heard that comment in a long time, so it must of sunk in. : )
L2G......I know exactly what you mean.....the warning of what will happen, they do it anyway, then what you said would happen does and the stunned look of 'how did you know?' I hope that eventually the thought stays with them that maybe I do know what I am talking about, but I have a feeling its going to be more like that movie '50 First Dates' ....you know, every day they wake up is a new day and I still don't know what I'm talking about and they go on and do what they want to anyway............
Christy (thankful for the good moments!) ^_^
Oh I so hear ya there. We pulled up the carpet in the living room and hall way and put down ceramic tile, Will I had just mopped and told him not to be running in the house, again why nanna, I said you will fall and break your neck. Well he didn't listen and yes he fell and hit his head. He wanted to cry but didnt. I just said I told ya so. The next time he fell he said no nanna I wasn't running that time. I laughed and all I could say was no buddy you wasn't. But your toys did it didn't they, yes nanna, why do you think so buddy, cause I left them laying around. He picked them up. Sometimes lessons must be learned the hard way.
yep they do. Goodness knows I have learned plenty of mine the hard way.....still am sometimes. Do we ever grow out of that?......or at the very least they become fewer and more far between than when we were kids?
Christy
My oldest is 25 and youngest is 21. I lived thru it, and amazingly enough they lived also. 5 girls and 2 boys. 2 of the girls, my 24 yr old and my 21 year old have SO that have kids. So I have 8 added grandkids. The 25 yr old has 4 boys and 1 girl (steps, but I don't know that) The 21 yr old has 1 boy and 2 girls (step again I don't know that) and 1 of her own. All I can say is when they call and say such and such did this or that, I get that evil grin again and just say oh really. I am pretty smart even to my 21 yr old.
Oh gosh I don't think we ever do.
so where is TAYNORS???? wher have you been girl??? ^_^
I think it's funny the way my oldest daughter looks at me when I've caught her in some silly little lie or called her bluff in some area or another. I'm just like "hey, I was a kid once also, I remember. It's hard to pull the wool over my eyes kiddo"! Of course, sometimes I know and sometimes I'm just counting on my gut feeling or a whim : ) I think most of child rearing is hit or miss AND gut feelings. Thank God for women's intuition!
Oh gosh yes, womens intuition.
