What ingredients are mothers made of?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.

Who's the boss at your house?
1. Mum doesn't want to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mum. You can tell by room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mum is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

1. Mums work at work and work at home & dads just go to work at work.
2. Mums know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but mums have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.

1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.
What would it take to make your mum perfect?

2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.
If you could change one thing about your Mum, what would it be?
1. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my Mum smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

This is TOO funny! I laughed so much it started to hurt.
1. Thanks for posting this.
2. Kids are THE BEST.
Off topic:
1. Oh, how my heart bleeds for you in your 90 degree heat! We currently have subzero wind chills. :-)
2. Do you use celcius down under?
3. Thanks for the Urban Words! It's nice to not always sound like a dopey housewife.
I think I've got the hang of you now Scat - you have a senior executive's brain. That is to say you have (as you have already admitted) the attention span of a gnat.
You therefore:
1) prefer punchy sentences.
2) few syllables
3) think TV sound bites are great; and
2) prefer numbering thoughts for easy future reference
5) which is an absolute pain for people trying to write for you
42) because you have to keep editing them as you add, delete and change things.
Whereas I'm rather more a chatty "its the journey not the destination" sort of a person.
Senior executives are also, in my experience, pedantic beyond the pale. In fact my observation is that the more senior the person, the more pedantic they are. As a consequence, a senior manager is more likely to take you to task for a misplaced comma than they are if you were to call them a self-serving nazi to their face.
I of course don't know about that last bit with respect to you,
so let me just say:
1) poor baby.
1a) try sweating to death while trying to get to sleep
1b) particularly at 4am in the morning
2) yes.
3) my pleasure.
Oh, wys, you know me too well! I was a senior executive suddenly turned new mommy to a darling little girl who (a)never stopped yelling her precious head off and (b)never slept.
I quickly realized that she was just like a client. So I treated her like one. No child has been humored more than she.
Pedantic? You should see my Hubby. He makes me look like a spaced out hippy. Actually, I admire spaced out hippies.
I do feel for your hot nights. Not only am i pedantic, I'm a self-serving problem solver. Get an air conditioner, for heaven's sake!
Finally, like any good senior executive, I'm sickeningly self promoting. Please revisit my blog as I have a new posting and a very, very pedantic hit counter. With which I am obsessed!
