Fuzzy Brain Syndrome
Funny and embarrasing

I am sure having children does something funny to your brain.

Before I had them I had a good memory, but afterwards just remembering where I put the keys was a challenge.

I had a house full of people, comming and going. Doors open, kids everywhere and everyone talking at once. All of a sudden realizing the front door leading to the road was open, I panicked. I couldn't see my 18 month son anywhere. I started running to the door and yelled out "has anyone seen Jack"? The room went quiet and everyone looked at me, astonished. Then they all began to laugh. Jack was in my arms on my hip!

I got so used to lugging him around I had forgotten he was there!   By J. Hancock
I'll be Plucked
Raising meat birds and all the things that go with preparing them for the table must have had an effect on my 2 year old son, for early one Sunday morning he jumps into bed, looks at me earnestly and demands to know "where are your feathers mum?"

Somewhat startled, I could only mumble "people don't have feathers".

"Yes they do, you had them yesterday and dad still has his" he states pointing at Dad's hairy armpits.

I must have been long over due for the "underarm plucking"

Jack's aunty Janet broke with tradition and gave Jack a super-soaker water gun instead of clothes. With 35 + degree days it was a winner. He squirted everything from spiders to mum and dad. But soon this wasn't enough and out came a second older water pistol. This was apparently necessary because he had now moved up to level 4 having successfully completed levels 1-3. I can't wait to see what level 10 may bring - a water canon?
I told you so!!!
We had just spent 10 days camping in the outback of Australia, a very long trip which had seen us do 3,500 km so far. Our son Jack who had had enough of travelling by day one was keen to get home to be re-united with his pushbike and 2 dogs. He was trying to talk us into doing the return journey in a day but it was about 900 km and half of that on dirt roads so we planned to stay at Broken Hill that night.

We got to Broken Hill at 7pm and found that there was no accomodation at all - anywhere. We ate tea and the kids fell asleep in the car as we tried to decide what to do. We ended up driving home another 4 hours on top of the 13 hours we had already done. As tired as we were we consolled ourselves with the surprise Jack would get when he discovered himself home a day early.

2 am we get him out of the car and he wakes. Dad asks do you know where you are and without any hesitation he says "Home and I told you you could do it in a day" and prompty goes back to sleep.
Smug and funny
    Be careful how you explain things!

Most mums have had to explain 'women's items' at some stage to their little ones. Pat's grand-daughter was no different. Stayfree womens hygien products were called 'bandaids' in their house and when Pat had to ask her daughter to get some down the shops. Little Miss quickly piped up " Is Nanna's fanny sick"?
Teacher's Pet or Pyscho Kids?

I know teaching reception children can be exhausting and somewhat frustrating due to their waning attention span and abundant energy. 

However I was surprised to discover that my son's teacher had nicked named a couple of the more active boys the "Psycho Kids".  The boys seemed to think this rather amusing.

The teacher luckily overheard their comments to me and through much laughter explained that she had actually called them her "side-kicks" as they had been very helpful the day before. 

Now why is it they understood psycho more than side-kick?
