I'm left wondering who was minding the fort while he wrote this.

Boy do you have a lot to learn by georgeha (4.00 / 3) #8 Tue May 30, 2006 at 12:53:40 PM EST
older siblings love to be left to terror^H^H^H^H^H^H^H in charge of their young sibs.

Just remember, divide and conquer and co-opt the older.

No? You don't say? by Rogerborg (4.00 / 1) #10 Tue May 30, 2006 at 12:59:19 PM EST
Mr Rogerborglet is already being brainwashed about how much fun it is to take care of a little mewling squealing mindless crap factory, although not quite in those terms.

She does seem delightfully precocious.

Last time I tried to take a nap, someone walked on my head and then demanded I play checkers with him.

Could be worse. by Gully Foyle (2.00 / 0) #26 Tue May 30, 2006 at 05:43:19 PM EST
Last time I tried to take a nap (about two days ago), a french bloke tripped over me and swore loudly. Of course, I was on the floor of Charles de Gaul airport at the time. I was also under a row of seats and hidden behind my luggage, so I don't know how he contrived to trip over me. Maybe he just wanted to kick someone; being in CdG for any length of time would drive any sane person to violence.

That's not worse by ucblockhead (4.00 / 1) #30 Tue May 30, 2006 at 06:17:33 PM EST
Unless he did it repeatedly over a ten minute period while singing "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" to the tune of Jingle Bells.

The Story Of This Story by CheeseburgerBrown (4.00 / 2) #17 Tue May 30, 2006 at 01:35:07 PM EST
I wrote a few paragraphs when kids were sleeping over the weekend, and then finished it off this morning while I'm at "work" listening to music with my feet up eating Swedish berries.

There's talk of making a run to the beer store, so I probably won't make any progress on my short stories today.

You have offspring -- you must be as expert as I am at grabbing a moment or two with minimal neglect-guilt. If not, how do you stay sane?

...Wait a minute: belay that question.


I am from a small, unknown country in the north called Ca-na-da. We are a simple, grease-loving people who enjoy le weekend de ski.

I have vague memories of 2001 by georgeha (4.00 / 4) #19 Tue May 30, 2006 at 01:50:36 PM EST
the year four year old was born. I was overtired and unproductive, tended to nearly fall asleep at my desk at work and got squat done.

As she got older, more of my life returned, though I miss the creepy crawly little bundle of joy, she's a big girl now.

A what? by 606 (4.00 / 2) #27 Tue May 30, 2006 at 05:46:02 PM EST
A run to the beer store? My, I really need to find a job in an artsy-fartsy media company.

Your feet eat Swedish berries? Is this some weird Canadian slang term for something disturbing?
