You want to sell WHAT?

On the AMBA forum, we parents of twins, triplets & more sometimes give or sell gear to each other. Pregnancy, babies, kids... at the close of each phase we have a lot of stuff to get rid of, and it makes sense to pass on some of it to other families with multiples.

When I go to the forum, I see a list of conversations that have been added to since I last looked. For a couple of days, I keep seeing these two, one above the other:

And my helpful little brain conflates the two, and every single time I wonder why on earth anyone would possess a leather breastfeeding sports bra for a little girl?

I think my mind is doing the same trick it kept doing, way back last century when I worked in Kilsyth. I drove to work, and close to the office there was a garden supplies shop. They had a sign out the front that said:

CHEAP TRELLIS

But every time I drove past, my helpful little brain read that as:

CHEAP THRILLS

And every single time I laughed! A little snicker, all on my own as I commuted.

Still 42°C at 6pm

That's 107.6 °F, which sounds a lot more impressive I think.

I wonder how hot it was for these people in Georgia, June 1982. They are singing Morning Prayer.

Working hard

It's 8:10 am and we are working on pictures of aliens who go snorkelling.

No mum

I told Ivy to go into a different room because I was on the phone. She was noisily lying all over me and I wanted to concentrate.

A few minutes later she came in and whacked this down,  then flounced out.

Jumping the waves

Trudi took Hazel out into the waves. I think Hazel had a good time.

A baby crapped on my Magnum!

Yes, this Magnum is truly and actually yellowy-greeny-brown. Apparently it is "honeycomb" flavoured.

And yes, the packaging really an genuinely has ?! on it. I should have used that as a cue... even the marketing people weren't convinced.

I ate it though, and it was OK. Better than a kick in the pants, and better than a lump of baby shit on a stick, but not up to the usual Magnum standard.

A letter from Ivy

This morning I was working at home, and Ivy sidled up to me to whisper loudly, "HOW DO YOU SPELL IPAD?"

I told her, and she came back with this:

Translation: Mum can I have a go on iPad

Isn't it amazing how iPads help with kids' literacy.
