The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.

Okay, and easy one:
Five Things That Small Children Are Extremely Good At.
Noise. My oh my are they good at making noise...
Whining. There are days where any topic becomes subject to the whine. Henry is a master of whining. He can even whine a "thank you".
Stickiness. My theory is that it must seep through the pores. Honestly, you can not have any sugar in the house, but let them loose on your computer and you can be guaranteed of stickiness.
Mess. Three books and a ball. A three year old can some make three books and a ball look like Beruit circa 1983.
Fussiness. Have you ever been told that your mash potatoes are "too spicy"? Ihave. Yes, potatoes, a pinch of salt and knob of butter is "too spicy". Hell, at times I've been told that a glass of plain milk is "too spicy".
Comments
- Noise. When my 2 children are sleeping, I have to lower the volume on the TV, because it is too high, the noise they made.
- Whining. The eldest, who is 4 years, let us not sleep one night in a row until he was 2 years. The youngest of 14 months, takes the same way.
- Stickiness. I think my toddler drink at least 5 liters of water, because I don't understand the amount of drool coming out of his mouth.
- Mess. Luckily, they tidy up after play, but meanwhile, looks like a battlefield.
- Fussiness. With older, I it is the same.
Children are children and one day they may have their own, then they will know what you went through.
Having five brothers and sisters I had an insight to the dramas of childhood.
Accept it for what it is as it will soon pass.
Then it becomes fond memories.
I know!
Kris...he does speak the truth with the rest. It does pass. Not as quickly as you would like at times...but it does pass. And you will remember it with more fondness than you may feel now!
Roddy, quite.
Sue, are you suggesting that I eat them?
