Where's the OFF button on this thing?
Lill and I have decided to change our names by depol because we're sick of hearing "Mum" and "Dad" from Jessica's lips every 5 seconds. A typical conversation with Jessica will begin with "Mum", or "Dad", and then around every 5th word after that she'll repeat it. Example..
"Dad, can you read me a story in bed? Dad, I want three four six stories in bed. And Dad, I want lots of hugs and kisses. And Dad, Sarah is under the bed again. Dad, I want a glass of water. Dad, I want to wear my stockings to bed. And Dad, I don't want the pink pyjama, I want the green dress. Dad, don't do all the buttons. Dad, Sarah ate my biscuit today. Dad, I want to go to the toilet. Dad, I want to brush my teeth. And Dad, Sarah was a cheeky girl today."
All this would be said in her wonderfully high whiny voice, and spoken at twice the speed of human conversation. By about the third "Dad", you grow tired of that word very quickly and this is where the wish to change it comes in.
Jessica now anticipates when she's about to be told off. As soon as she knows she's done something wrong, she'll burst into tears and will try and send YOU to your room. She even sent her grandfather to his room for something SHE did the other day! Out of the mouths of babes...
Speaking of babes, When Emma lies on her tummy, not only can she lift her head up, but she can now pull her shoulders up off the ground, too! I know I know, proud Dad in the building! What can I say....!!??
ODD SPOT: When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 Billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300C.
The Russians used a pencil.
P.S: I'm rolling on the floor laughing....
