Ahhh. . . the craving of a true heroin addict . . .

I wouldn't doubt it...the terrors of the neighborhood!

What is even funnier is the kid who tried to take 2, we give him our cans every week. (We used to throw them away, but then he started to ask for them.) And with the amount of Diet Coke I drink, I am sure he makes a mint. My husband and I always joke about how we are funding his college education.

There is a Cure song that is very fitting...it is called, "Never Enough." My husband hates the kid...and I can't say I like him too much, either. He is an only child and is a complete brat. You can hear them playing ball in the backyard and the rules change every minute so as to benefit his best interest.

I especially hate when they do skidmarks in the driveway or throw balls and can't catch them and they hit the truck...

See why I don't want any kids?

In order to have kids, you must possess patience...which I clearly do not have.

Sorry, y'all, but you are completely wrong about kids. Kids are terrific. They just change everything in a most surprising, constantly surprising way. I spent quite a few years resisting the thought of having kids. But 'she' (the rib) persevered, and after the first one was born, I have never looked back. They are fun, they laugh at my stupid jokes , and my brother in law's stupid jokes (pull my finger). they are so sweet, and it is such a wonder to see them light up when something goes their way, or just when I say something good about them or something they did.They can be hard, when the homework is hard, or when someone was mean to them, but those moments ar epart of the allure of them. They are just the best thing anyone can ever have in their life. bar none. OK, maybe a monkey prize would work, but other than that...

I just couldn't do it...kids like me...but I'd be too paranoid if something went wrong...

Yep, she got home yesterday afternoon . . . she's at work right now . . .

Like, if the child were slow...or badly disfigured...I am not sure how I would cope.

Something always goes wrong . . . that's how nature teaches ya to be a parent . . . you sure ain't gonna learn how from anyone but your own kids!!!

Life . . . and creating life will always involve risk.

Not always; she has a revolving schedule - retail, don'tcha know!

I always plan for the worst case scenario. When I was in a corporate environment and it was review time, I always prepared myself for anything bad that might come my way...

Yep. That sucks. Does she work in an environment where it gets crazy at Christmas?

My sister has a 4 year old and I think she is slightly autistic.

Wow...I would say so! Hopefully she doesn't spend all the mortgage money there.

Well, that's a call only the professionals can make . . .

They have no idea...she is in special classes at school. She can't form sentences. She is getting a bit better though. She has a complex one word vocabulary, though...

She was putting in video tapes into the VCR at 2 years old. She is mechanically smart and very energetic.

They have to put a weighted vest on her at school to keep her attention.
