Kids do the darnest things

Just when you think you know everything there is to know about kids and the kind of antics they're capable of, they do something to completely throw you off...balance.

Just when you think you know everything there is to know about kids and the kind of antics they're capable of, they do something to completely throw you off...balance.

I now know why God made children. I now know why we grow up being so cute, making the adults coo over us and melt like butter in a hotpot. I now know why parents are prone to tripping all over themselves to satisfy every whim and fancy of their children, even if they lose an arm and a leg for it.

I am one such parent.

Can you imagine what my reaction was when I was working on a very important article one afternoon and Joshua was jumping off the bed with his arms flapping or flailing around wildly. I was shocked and asked very whimsically, Josh, what do you think youre doing?. He smiled gleefully and answered me very innocently, Mommy, I am a bird, mommy.

I just couldnt hide my smile. All that crazy flapping was because he was pretending to be a bird? Gee, shouldve known better than to ask, isnt it, Marsha? What next, Josh? Well, nothing beats the next incident, of course.

I was eating my dinner, after feeding the kids. Jared was bouncing around with his cousins in the living room and I was trying to see if I could stuff half a plate into my mouth without tearing my lips apart because Jared was just about to jump off the piano. However, as I got up from the chair, I spotted Joshua under Jareds high chair. He had an empty plate infront of him and he had his face plastered in the middle. There was some gobbling noises coming from him too.

Silently, I got behind him (without him knowing) and watched him.

He lifted his head for a while, huffed and puffed a little and then placed his face back into the plate. I tapped him lightly on his shoulder and asked him, crouching to his level. Josh, what are you doing?.

I am playing, mommy

What are you playing, Josh?

I am playing anteater

Anteater? I laughed out loud. Youre telling me that youre an anteater?

He smiled seeing that his antics got me tickled Yeah, I am an anteater To illustrate his point, he huffed, puffed and made a sort of breathing noise (hes assuming anteaters do that cause hes never heard an anteater before, neither have I) and put his face back into the plate again.

I tapped him on his shoulder again

Whats the anteater doing, Josh?

Ssssshhhhh.mommy, you scary the ants

Oh. I see.

Thats Josh. In the meantime, my younger son is no less funny. Compared to Josh, Jared is outgoing and knows precisely which buttons to push and when to push it. I am dead serious when I say this because this boy knows how to put out my fire as quickly as how to start one.

Even if he blew up the house, he knew how to get himself out of trouble, no problem at all. There was one time I took him to the toilet to answer natures call (big call) and he simply refused to. The moment I brought him back out, he did his big business in the living room.

I was mad as mad can be and shouted for quite a bit. I smacked his cute little behind and said, No no, Jed naughty. Jed mmnn-mmnn in the toilet dont want. Erm-erm in the living room. No, naughty. With huge, bulging, watering eyes, he stared at me without making a noise. I ran out of things to rant about and he spotted his chance to kill the fire.

He gave his two ears a tug and stuck his tongue out like his tongue was connected to his ears or something. I couldnt control the rumble of laughter that reverberated through my body and he knew he won the war. He knew the anger has dissipated. However, as much as I tried to maintain the angry stance, he knew he won and would just do something as silly and funny as that to make me un-angry.

Josh is a very innocent and straightforward kind of guy, you know, the typical TV channel surfing, burping, farting, hibernating kind of guy. But Jed is different. He is cheeky, smart and extremely mischievous. He has ways of getting what he wants and even if he was wrangling something out of your grasp, he can make you think that you gave the toy willingly to him. Such is my second son.

I looked at Joshs old pictures and remembered Josh being just as silly too. The time will never come around again. Josh will never be the baby he was again and Jared (thinner now) will never be the sumo-wrestler I adored again. I still love them both doubtlessly, but its a different kind of love now.

Doesnt matter, I have my anteater and ear-puller to keep my hands full, huh?

This is such a neat movie for kids and adults alike. Very clever, well written and moves quickly as to not bore young ones. Robin Williams as Fender steals the show, but all the characters are very likeable and teaches a good lesson about self-image.

Customer Review: Great scale with double usage

I bought the scale in September 2007 and have been using it for our newborn baby. I really like the looks, it's sturdy and has a large easy readable digital display. With one touch on a button you can switch between lbs and kgs, even when using. We really like the fact that we can also use the scale with our other children. They can stand on it when the bassinet is removed, which is easily done. The scale does not need a electrical outlet, so it can be put anywhere we like.

Customer Review: blast from the past

I had a rubiks snake when I was younger and my daughter found this one for me for Christmas. I had nearly forgotten how much fun it was. But the best part was sharing something with my daughter and teacher her something new. She loves making a ball with the snake/twist. This rubiks twist puts up with alot of use and abuse. My old rubiks snake is at least 20 years old and just recently snapped apart. I'm so glad they're still making something that is so simple and fun at the same time.
