Val, love your cat! Did you pick him or did he pick you?
Val, did I get this right: Your kids are not PG, you have not had them tested?
I know I was totally shocked when I had them tested and I hadn't even been to this board yet. Don't you *see* them here. It seems like it to me ((shrug)).
Well, that number IS just a number, anyway. Your kids just sound like a real joy.
DK (Dear Kitty) picked me and I picked him. He was a stray; we think someone dumped him. He was extremely shy and so I made a huge effort to persuade him to like me by leaving food for him and calling him. Eventually he warmed up and moved in. Now he's very outgoing and loves to meet new people. He's sleeping in a sunny patch next to my desk right now.
I suppose I'm making assumptions about my kids based on what I read here, but I could have a case of denial!
My kids are a real joy a lot of the time. They are not a real joy when they are beating each other up. That said, my eldest was a real terror when he was three. The child development people talk about the terrible twos, but no one ever tells you that three is worse!
Val
