Posted: 5/9/2008 8:31:10 AM | So you going to let him shop for you Jujubee? I think that would be a blast letting my boy pick out an outfit for me. He's nearly 14 and I think he has great taste, you've just given me a grand idea! Thank you. Here's a little poem I wrote about my boy...
Catch A Mouse You Say?
My son he wants to catch a mouse
please don't ask me why
says that they are cute
mom just sits to sigh
so out to our shed
last night he makes his way
old scrap wood he gathers
upon a back table his tools he does lay
I kind of chuckled as I watched
not a word escaped as I kept my lips held tight
with an old hand saw he tried to cut
work he did with all his might
I knew he was frustrated
cutting was going quite slow
wishing I had an electric one
to aid him in his creative flow
I could tell he was getting tired
told me he would leave it for tonight
as I sit here grinning to myself
truly am I wondering when done what my boy will bring to sight
will he catch that mouse one day
will his contraption really work I ask
I am thinking probably not
yet proud I am of him that he of building has set to task.
Happy early Mother's Day to all the mom's out there.... Wabbit | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 5:47:06 PM | went out and lit the fire
one flick I remind you
and I didn't require any tender
I started tellin my son about boy scouts
and he said my sisters in that
I about fell down
In some school thing I volunteered to come lend a hand
and my even more estranger every day old lady told me
those scout masters all are gay
anyway, I showed him how I sharpen my bowie and then cut off half an oak tree
and whittled it down to cook one wienie
I can't believe that bytch
told you she was nuts
anyway.. the kid was happy lightin the fire
wants to do somemore
but, it's hot out and he's sleeping now
I'll go to my thread to write about his mother the whore | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 7:31:33 PM | Chasing the wolves away
Camping in the woods with two teenage girls
Separate tents nestled in the trees
Darkness settles in as the dampness
Flows across the warm earth
Tickling the nose with a fecund incense
Giggles flowing through the night sounds
Calling to every red blooded Canadian boy in the campground
Like bees to honey they approach
The girls lighting up their tent with a shining beacon
When up he jumps from the warmth of his sleeping bag
Time to be a daddy to these innocent creatures
And in his deepest voice he clears his throat and says…
Move on boys they are only 15
Little did the boys know that this fearless man
Was dressed in nothing but his birthday suit
Not prepared to chase them off of his territory
What a funny sight that would be
That was only the beginning
Now they are 17 and ready to fly solo. | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 8:13:10 PM | the first day
wait...
no...
yes...
it moved, i think
really?
it moved...
no
this time yesterday
my time was my own
and for many years
it seems my love had not grown
my world was in darkness
a fact i hadn't known
an explosion of light
for a child, i now own
a million memories
are lined up in my head
at no time prepared
for this child in my bed
hey,
did you hear that?
she spoke
no
i must become better
i must become strong
for i am her father
this is right, it's not wrong
i'll love and i'll cherish
i'm not sure i've done that before
but look at those eyes
my daughter asleep on the floor
without a doubt
she's an angel to be sure
ohhhh...
whew...
good lord
what's that smell?
oh, well...
she's still my angel asleep on the floor
(and so she and her sisters remain, 10 years later) | |

Autumn, I would love to have seen those boys scatter!
Ajak ...that was beautiful. Amazing how many memories can be stuffed into the first 365 days, much less all the others, hmm? | |

Posted: 5/9/2008 9:37:25 PM | The devil made us do it
Past midnight and we get the call
Come and get me or I’ll walk home alone
Through quiet streets
Abandoned within the cool night air
Is it karma or pure satire?
As we chose her car
For the rescue mission
Blaring Madonna on the radio
She hops in the back seat
Begs for the radio to be turned off
And wonders how we ended up
Driving her SUV
Fate I guess and a little bit of the
Devil made us do it
Her tank was on full
And she is paying the price for
Our interruption from solitude
A parents prerogative I guess. | |

Posted: 5/10/2008 5:22:49 AM | Discovering the Artist
It was early morning,
crack of dawn,
just waking up,
the brew was on.
The house was quiet,
all were asleep,
from the baby's room,
not even a peep!
I finished my shave,
and ...well, you know!
poured my first coffee,
I love it just so!
Then came her giggle,
she called out my name,
Dada, Dada, Dada,
awake she became!
A smile crossed my heart,
I rose to my feet,
went to her bedroom,
to bring out my sweet!
Close to the bedroom,
an odor arose,
as I opened the door,
she was naked...no clothes!
Standing in her crib,
all giggles and smiles,
her hands just a going,
oh those feminine wiles!
My eyes they watered,
my nose I did plug!
there was pooh on the crib,
the walls and the rug!
And still she kept painting,
hand prints quite clear,
smearing it in,
there's pooh everywhere!
My budding young artist,
gave one final rub!
as I gingerly raised her,
and right to the tub! | |

Posted: 5/11/2008 6:10:01 PM | Shewwwwwwwie! Glad it was you & not me!  Thank you for sharing, Mandrake-thank you for the honor you bestowed upon me also.
I'm beginning to wonder if they  has taken over one of my angel boys. Maybe he's in the tween stages. I've been looking for better employment...benefits...the things any parent wants to be able to provide more for their children with. In the process, he throws a screaming cheetah fit feeling that if we moved *HOME*---hear the trumpets blare? then a job would fall in my lap.
Home is 10,000 the entire county-work is an hour drive for a decent job & we all know gas will be more than less before long-oh wait...it already is.
He.
wants to
go
back home.
Suddenly, he hates it here. We went through a transition getting here & growing roots & now...at the end of his 5th grade year, he revolts.
I'm completely puzzled. Nothing precipatated it. Suddenly, he doesn't get to do anything or go anywhere & none of it's about him.

Posted: 5/13/2008 8:59:31 PM | woken to the light coming through
the window, and keeping one ete open for the little man to come
strolling out, climb up the back of the couch, and drop two knees on me. I was surprised when he came out casually and walked over to me.
"Hey, little dude, do you have school today, or are you on vacation?"
obviously, the five and a half year old
thought this was the oppurtunity
to try and be creative.
"No, no school today dad"
"really, cool" wanted to see him while
I was home for christmas vacation, anyway.
So he crawled up on the couch, and
layed next to me for awhile.
"are you sure, about school?"
"i think I do have school today dad."
we got 45 minutes, with a 20 minute drive.
Stripped in the living room, and dressed
like he was on a ford assembly line
where are your socks, he looks up at me
like hey man I'm five, count the fingers
one, two, three, four, you find them
"Do you have any home work?"
again looks at me like, uh what
look in his back pack, trace the D's, and color in the house.
"OK, you take one crayon, I got the door, and chimney"
"You get the grass, sky, and walls"
I look over to see him biting his little tongue.
"OK, done" sit back and breath
Snap, into a sweat. Look in his back pack again, no algebra,
no Foil method, no chemistry,
Look over at him again, "what grade are you in?"
Ok, your dressed. Let's go.
"I don't want to listen to Jack Johnson"
He wants me too put in metallica,
but he doesn't know their name yet
Look out World! | |

There's been three games a week for the third & final week now.
Eli throws his pint sized arms up in the air, flops to his belly, & rolls down the steep hill by the ballfield. Khaki is another word for stain me, make your mom scrub me with spray n' wash for hours. He rolls to his towheaded size 12 feet, marches to where I'm sitting with my friend & says...I can't take anymore baseball. I've been as understanding as I know how, but I'm TIRED of IT. Can you hear what I'm saying? Where is the justice in this world? Where are the nachos that only taste good @ the ballpark?!!! Where is the bed? Is it over YET?! Trudging back up the hill for another roll as I think to myself....
dayummit, where is my camcorder when I need it?
So, Trev is finding out that being a good pitcher has a price & is a heavy weight on his shoulders. THIS, I hate about him playing sports. He has the God given natural talent to play any sport & look fluid while doing it. Parents...team mates, coaches.....all screaming' Trevor! Trevor! Trevor!!! Wonder he & the other two oldest kids don't have a nervous breakdown.
He's pitched 18 inning in the last three weeks. You can only have 6 innings a week. I've heard a few parents grumble because he can't pitch more, but I'm okay with it. He needs to be able to just enjoy the game & be a kid, yannno? Out of 18 innings, 15 have been shutout innings for him with 12 innings of solid strikeouts.
I think all sports have thier beauty & thier uglies. Watching the smallest guy on the team ( all 8 years old of him) hit the ball & smile so big he can't run...beauty....watching parents throw a fit & tell thier kid to chant ugly stupid crap for any team....not so pretty. They are a reflection of each parent that is raising them.
Eli had his reading level in Kindergarten tested this week. He was on a 12 & is now on a 16. Isn't there beauty in everything?

The boys also. I'll bet they are adorable .... of course we couldn't use that word around them. LOL. Know how boys can be!   Later Lady, Lucky | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 6:09:08 PM | Moma, will my daddy be at graduation from Kindergarten? Baby...I don't know. It'd be cool if he were, huh? Can I go to Trev's grad even though I'm almost just a first grader? Yeah baby- we aren't going to miss it for the world.
Well, if you & me get to fifth grade, can I go to Space Camp with you like Trev did, please mom? I'd really behave. I'll even hold your hand & take care of you there.
I love you, mom. G'night.
Hey Mom....will you think over all I said? Please? G'night? | |

Father to Daughter
In your younger days
I showed in very real ways
that I was always here for you
no matter what you needed.
I'd be right by your bedside
when you weren't feeling well ...
hold your hand in mine
when I helped you cross the street ...
take you with me
everywhere I went
wrap you in hugs
when you were hurting or afraid.
How I wish it were still that easy
to shield you from pain and disappointment,
to lift your spirits,
to kiss away the hurts
and make everything sweet again.
But part of being a father
is finding the strength to let you go ...
to let you grow
from your mistakes and heartaches ...
to let you know
that you can make it on your own.
I've tried to give you
the space you need
to make your own decisions ...
take your own chances ...
and feel your own way in the world.
But I hope you'll always remember
that I love you with all my heart and soul,
and that I'm still right here for you ...
no matter what you need.
My darling daughter
Dad is so proud of you
and always will be .....

Posted: 5/28/2008 6:31:18 AM | ian was only three
when he started to stay with my granny
while i went back to school
to become what i would be
oh at first he did cry
broke my litte heart
how he never wanted
from my side to be apart
but slowly they developed
a love that would always last
soon when i left
the time quickly passed
together they scrambled eggs
and made fridays spaghetti sauce
two cans of tomato paste
for one he'd eat and it was lost
my favorite memories
of those days long gone
when i came through the door
and together they were singing a song
under the dining room table
with a sheet over the top
in the safety of their room
the song just never stopped
i think of those times
when e was only three
awww...that was 20 years ago
what wonderful memories
(jjb...love this thread!!) | |

| Miracle Car
Posted: 5/29/2008 5:35:02 AM | The parents of two boys (14 and 16 year-olds) went on a trip for the weekend with friends.
They left early Friday morning and the boys were left alone at home. That evening the
younger boy made the suggestion that they take their dad's car, pick up some girls and go
to the local disco. The 16 year-old boy could drive a bit but was too scared.
After some nagging he gave in and off they went to enjoy the evening. When they got
back to the car after a lot of discothequeing, they noticed a huge dent in the rear of the
car - someone must have bumped into the car and drove off.
Frantically they phoned their friends to find a panelbeater/spraypainter to fix their
dad's car. Finally they found one who said they must have the car at his house early next
morning. The car was fixed properly and they parked it back in the garage that afternoon.
Their parents returned the next day but the boys were too terrified to say anything about
the accident. The father went to get something from the garage, came back very amazed
and said to the family in the lounge,
"A miracle has happened! A guy drove into the back of my car on Thursday
and now it is fixed without a scratch!"

Posted: 5/29/2008 6:35:53 AM | Mother's Tears
Tears come so easily
to a mother's eyes
as with love, you see,
for the world she cries,
tears of joy
tears of grief
tears of pain
is there no relief
for suffering and heartache
in this life of give and take,
where in more joyful times
her heart sang gentler rhymes
as new life to earth
she gave birth ...
Today I say a prayer
For mothers everywhere
Without them where would we be?
As for all mankind they care
And so often shed a tear,
Without them we would not be. | |

| Children Are Our Future
Posted: 5/30/2008 3:18:53 AM | The Children Are Our Future
This is a list of comments from test papers, essays, etc., submitted to science and health teachers by elementary, junior high, high school, and college students: It is truly astonishing what weird science our young scholars can create under the pressures of time and grades. The spellings are the original ones.
1. H2O is hot water, and CO2 is cold water.
2. To collect fumes of sulphur, hold a deacon over a flame in a test tube.
3. When you smell an oderless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide.
4. Water is composed of two gins, Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin. Hydrogin is water and gin.
5. A super saturated solution is one that holds more than it can hold.
6. Liter: A nest of young puppies.
7. Magnet: Something you find crawling all over a dead cat.
8. Momentum: What you give a person when they are going away.
9. Vacuum: A large, empty space where the pope lives.
10. Artificial insemination is when the farmer does it to the cow instead of the bull.
11. The pistol of the flower is its only protection against insects.
12. A fossil is an extinct animal. The older it is, the more extinct it is.
13. To remove dust from the eye, pull the eye down over the nose.
14. For a nosebleed: Put the nose much lower that the heart until the heart stops.
15. For head colds: use an agonizer to spray the nose until it drops in your throat.
16. Germinate: To become a naturalized German.
17. The tides are a fight between the Earth and moon. All water tends towards the moon, because there is no water on the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum. I forget where the sun joins in this fight.
18. Blood flows down one leg and up the the other. | |

| Double Graduation
Posted: 5/30/2008 12:23:13 PM | My younger two "babies" (awww, mommmm-you're embarrassing me) graduated from thier school.
Trev walked in so tall & handsome & I had to flash back to remembering him being my last class in the Head Start & how tiny he was & how much older I thought he was @ that very moment.
I'm so proud of all of the fifth graders. I had the chance to go to Space Camp with them last weekend & they are a huge group of dayum good kids.
They are taking on middle school next year---God save the faculty & pass the ammunition. 
Elijah-Blue graduated 30 minutes later. Man... It seems that with the last one coming in & heading out of each milestone, things are much more poignant, yanno?
I know how much work we put into Kindergarten & how excited he is to be picked for GT-Quest Camp for his age.
Wow...the babies are all growing up. | |

17. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies,comedies, and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Romeo's last wish was to be laid by Juliet.
18. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
19. During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe.
20. Later, the Pilgrims crossed the ocean, and this was called Pilgrim's Progress. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.
21. One of the causes of the Revolutionary War was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their parcels through the post without stamps.

| Child's Definition of LOVE
Posted: 6/1/2008 11:10:21 PM | Child's Definition of LOVE
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds,
"What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone
could have imagined. See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails
anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got
arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca - age 8
When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know
that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they
go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries
without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4
Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before
giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7
"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still
want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They
look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents
and listen," Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6
"There are two kinds of love. Our love. God's love. But God makes both kinds of them."
Jenny - age 8
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after
they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people
watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that.
I wasn't scared anymore," Cindy - age 8
"My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don't see anyone else kissing me

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a four
year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently
lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's
yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked him what he
had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry." | |
