Trust my rage

At what age do they get cereal themselves on Saturday morning?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And they say there's no definition to happiness.

In this vein, I've taken up a new pastime that I'm happy to recommend. I call it "Sleeping with a baby on my tummy."

Sleeping with a Baby on Your Tummy

1. Make sure that you're comfortable before you start. It may be tricky to find a different position later.

2. The baby, on the other hand, will be very comfortable indeed. Probably even if you have ROCK HARD ABS!! (I can only guess at this. I don't have ROCK HARD ABS!! myself.)

3. Seek the permission of one or both of the baby's parents before attempting this.

4. Although this is a matter of personal preference, I would recommend that you leave the baby's nappy on. (The baby. If you found this at all ambiguous, I don't know how to help you. I'm sorry.)

5. Never shake a baby. If you have a shaky tummy, a Velcro solution might be right for you.

6. It is important to get the arrangement in the right order. Do not attempt sleeping with your tummy on a baby.

Tune in next week for our next instalment, "Bungee jumping with a baby on your tummy".

Bungee Jumping with a Baby on Your Tummy

Good grief man, I can't recommend that!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sadly, I had to leave the kitty and go out for breakfast, as I'm very hungry. But now I have nummy coffee, and soon, eggs benedict.

And they had no questions. I could have slept in. Damnit.

You could have just joined in the call and gone back to sleep. All you need is some computer program that notices any pauses in conversation, assumes they're waiting for a response from you, and plays a recording of you saying, "I agree."

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Some Thing Never Change/And They Think I'm a Responsible Adult:

Me (entering the living room, seeing my dad there, posing my hand as a natural attachment to my nose): Seeeeqw!
Dad (confused look):
Me: I'm an elephant!
Dad: You always have been.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Just lounging around in my nightshirt...at some point I will shower and dress.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

At what age do they get cereal themselves on Saturday morning?

At the age of four and eight, my sister and I used to knock on my parents' bedroom door at 7am, every Saturday, to ask if we could have a biscuit (i.e. cookie). And then we'd knock again to ask if we could have two.

It only recently occurred to me that my parents could have sat us down one Friday night and said "YOU CAN ALWAYS HAVE TWO BISCUITS"...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Depending on the child, automatic permission to have two cookies could induce a desire to ask for a third cookie, though.
