I'm just about ready to trade a couple of my boys for girls, provided that they are like my daughter. When she was little I thought she was a difficult child. If I'd known what was coming to me, I would have counted my blessings.<BR/><BR/>My daughter, when my now 6 year old son was born, got mad, but the very worst thing she did was sit on her baby brother once. My 2 year old boy, by contrast, will sit on the baby, scratch the baby, bite the baby, hit the baby with his toys... and that's all within a 5 minute span. And then it repeats for the next three hours... It makes me long to deal with four hormonal teenaged girls. At least if you get them exasperated enough they'll lock themselves in their rooms.Old Wacky Hermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028692611952640755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1156946731799878502006-08-30T10:05:00.000-04:002006-08-30T10:05:00.000-04:00Almost pathological?<I>Almost</I> pathological?Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-1156880589822205762006-08-29T15:43:00.000-04:002006-08-29T15:43:00.000-04:00I don't think the strategy of having daughters wor...I don't think the strategy of having daughters worked for my dad. My MO tends to be beating him to his own joke, saying it in an ironic tone of voice, then looking at him condescendingly. My brothers just aren't that quick. I think in general for jokes you are probably correct, but never underestimate the power of a daughter with 95% conversational recall, no limit on how fast she can talk, and a love of sarcasm and cynicism that is almost pathological.bs kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871717971078952304noreply@blogger.com
