h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Thats OK Gwennie, I'm phisically and emotionally damaged as it is. A little more wont show.

Good! I'd hate be the cause of your insanity! I had my sanity surgically removed when I gave birth to Mair... Somebody told me that it helps....

Another good reason never to have kids.

I'll drink to that!

*pours *

Here you go.

Hic!

It wasn't that strong.

You tell fibs! T'was too!

* Wanders through mumbling something about '...ragamuffin angels' *

Welcome back Greebo ! I hope that emergency helicopter supply of donuts reached you on your exotic honeymoon...Oh, and the batch of whipped cream.

* Thinks: Not half as romantic a location as Scunthorpe... *

* Thinks futhermore: I have been overdoing things of late *

* Turns to Gwennie *

I have in my time had to observe many families where such an occurence has occurred.

The positively best way to manage the rigours of family life is to introduce the concept of 'Chores'. Once this wonderous phrase is uttered, children the world over are not seen for days...

It's kind of like putting on a Celine Dion record late at night at a party, most people tend to get the message...

- Simply, High Spirited.

ROFL!! You sure move in a mysterious way God
Ever thought of bringing your thoughts to the general public and writing for the Post??

Hello again Mrs. Greebo Stooby! We missed you, and carried on in your honor while you were gone.

Gwennie, as long as Mair knows you love her to pieces everything will come out all right in the end. Its hard for her because she is trying mightily to become an adult. Lots of attention and direction is called for. I'd stay with your children in a heartbeat!!

xxx ooo,
M-r

*Shouts in a loud voice*

Children for sale!

Of course I love my darling daughter to bits, Mari-Rae! Lots of little ones that I can jump up and down on to make myself feel better!

Thank you for your suggestions of chores, oh omnipotent one... I will try to introduce the meaning of the word to Mair! She won't be able to run far as she's grounded - heh, heh!!

*Wanders off to the cupboard where the dusters and polishes are kept...*

Catch you later chaps!

Be really horrible and make her turn out her wardrobe.

LOL. God is sooooooo wise. Gwennie, anyone that is part of you will be just as wonderful as you are. I think everyone tests the waters as they mature. They will certainly come to the realisation that Mom knows best. It is a worldwide fact.

ME knows lots you know... cause me very clever...

ME knows lots you know... cause me very clever...

Twice even.

Of course you know lots, Greebo! (Lots of tricks to fill your wonderfully furry tummy with doughtnuts!)

Ooh! I'm so glad I didn't listen to my mother, or I'd have joined the Young Conservatives, married a boring accountant, be living in a twee little house, in a twee little suburbia somewhere and still be tied to my mother's apron strings...

I may be poor, slightly demented and not too happy about being middle aged, but I love my family (I do - honest - in spite of my postings) and wouldn't have them any other way!

By the way! A progress report on my darling daughter, Mair!

I tried to get her to vacuum her own bedroom today..... She claims she doesn't know how to use the vacuum cleaner and may break it! Devious or what, hey? I just KNOW she's not that dumb!!! So, tomorrow, it's DEMONSTRATION TIME!!!

But remember one small thing in your ferver of demonstrating. Don't do it in her room.

When I was growing up, we had an electric lawnmower. I ran over the cord once, and was banished forever from mowing the lawn.
