Kids....Ya gotta love 'em...

I am blessed with a one year old who, imo, has waaay too much time & energy.

My son, Omar, while playing with my computer, corrupted the hard drive sooo badly that I had to reformat it-I lost almost 4 GB's of progs & music.

Now I manage to survive that; but yesturday when I got home from work, my wife tells me that the VCR isn't working. She couldn't insert a tape. On examination I found that it was stuffed full of paper! Guess who? Like I said, "Gotta love 'em!"

But enough about me and my adventures, how about you & your kids?

Looking forward to some great stories.

Coins in the car cassette player...
Home movie video tapes stretched out across the room (& tied in knots!)...
"Washing the car" after a downpour using mud-puddle water and the dog blanket...
6yo fighting with the 18mo over a teething toy (ferchrissakes!)...

The sanctity of material items just fades away after children...

How about a juice size glass of milk poured into a 55 gallon fish tank. Who would think that that little bit could go so far as to turn the whole tank milky. We had to get every fish out of the tank as fast as possible, which was hard because we could not see a thing.
This disaster was created by my son at the age of 2.

Cassette jammed in the car player with a wad of bubble gum in it when my one son was 5. Peed on one night when my other son was 3 and snuck into Mom and Dads bed one night and fell asleep on his back across my legs. Same son who did the cassette trick, when 9 decided to use the bath towels as toilet paper when it ran out, and hung the towels back up so neat you did not notice. Only found out when drying off after a shower! Oldest boy at 12 sets oven on fire because he did not know he had to remove the cardboard backing before he put the pizza in the oven. Then they became teenagers.....woo....not enough space here for that. Sufice to say, enjoy them while they are young because you ain't seen nothing yet!

With all due respect to J.A.F.O. across the pond, there is a brand name of duct tape called Duck tape, so, technically, Duck tape would be OK.

Gary, My best guess.."Can't donate these days....they spit dummies about tattoos" Is "Can't donate these days...they Freak Out about tattoos.

yrag: spit the dummy means basically to throw a childish tantrum. Like a baby spitting their dummy (pacifier to the yanks) out in a fit of rage. Similar saying to 'throwing your teddy out of the pram'.
