And how do they imagine that they themselves came about?? Brought by the stork?? Immaculate conception?? Grew up in the cabbage pad (or worse yet, in the corn field...)?? Or maybe sex is off-limits to people over a certain age?? Oh, they know we had sex to get them, they just don't want to think about us old people "doin' it." I think it's anyone having sex over the age of 30-40. Pam S. |

LOL, you're a year younger than Rob, my hubby. I don't consider him a baby either. He just acts young, which is a big advantage when you're up against the ropes. Rob is quite an awesome guy. I was telling the kids last night about how the neighborhood kids at Ft Campbell would come over and ask if my "Daddy could come out and play." He taught them how to fly kites, engaged them in water fights, took them bug hunting, blow bubbles for them to stomp on, and was pretty decent about any reasonable play requests. Most of the other daddies wanted to stay inside and watch sports rather than play with their kids. I feel sorry for them. Me, too....that's wonderful, what lucky kids you have, and what a lucky wife you are! ` Ann -- http://www.angelfire.com/ca/bewtifulfreak |

But you have permission to shoot me deader than dead if I ever start thinking or acting old! Somehow, with Joel around, I don't think I'm in any mortal danger yet. The lump will probably grow up saying "But Muuuuuuum, its *my* go on the swing/for the toy, geroff!". Of course I will cackle evilly, as all good Horrid Mothers do.....

Everyone knows that one's own's parents don't actually *do* it, that would be, like, well *GROSSSSS!* I mean sure, ok, they had to like, have sex to, like, reproduce and all, but thats not anything like actually doing it like *we* do. Well, I know that my parents did it 3 times - one for me, and one for each of my two sisters. Joyce |

I'm adopted and mom has this really baaaaad attitude about sex. So you see, we were the generation that invented sex. Of course, my kids will believe that they did when they get there, too. -- Motherthing Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death. - Rosalind Russell |

Don't wait until they're in their teens, Vicky. Start them off early. When the kids were little, and would act up in stores (you know, touching the produce, squabbling with their sibs that sort of thing, never really bad), I'd tell them that A) I was going to tell their mommy on them, or B) to go back to their real parents as none of my kids would ever act like that. Each statement would prompt a chorus of "But you are our mommy." By the time we'd finished arguing it out, we were all laughing and whatever behavior I didn't like was forgotten. My kids are bright, polite, and going to be shelling out a fortune in Psych bills. I always figured that if I was going to be blamed for everything that ever happened to them, I might as well earn it. LOL....what a brilliant idea!!! Sounds to me like your kids would be the least likely candidates for therapy I know; being raised with a sense of humor goes a long way.... Ann -- http://www.angelfire.com/ca/bewtifulfreak |

I act young too. You should see me around chocolate easter eggs, you know the kind with surprises inside, or at Christmas when it's time for presents, or running around the apartment playing catch-the-cat - Laku loves that!! I don't know how to fly a kite tho, not a real kite, only the cheapo version we used to fly as kids - we tied a few bright plastic bags at intervals on a long piece of string and pulled the whole contraption around on a windy day... That's wonderful! Anyway, they say age is only a matter of mind: if you don't mind, it doesn't matter! I may grow up a little more here and there, but I see no reason to ever grow old....

With Rob, it's Cadbury creme eggs. With Christmas, he's more excited about coming up with a special present for one of us than what he can get. I'm the one who insists on decorating the house, tree, front porch, mailbox, and anything else I can think of. You really need to learn how to fly kites. Rob taught me, and it is a family tradition now to take a kite per person to Cape Hatteras where the winds are always good for flying stuff. We also get them out to play frisbee, water fight, and whatever else we can think of. I don't think we'll ever grow up. It's too boring. Pam S. |

Christine, if you ever make it to North Carolina, I'd be proud to help Rob teach you how to fly kites. Rob is the pro at flying them, I've only flown one or two kites. It's fun, exciting and a little stressful as the kits feels like its going to get away when it gets up really high. Pam S. |
