I thought about starting my own cheeky blog to write funny stuff about my family...but i'm still considering a run for public office and I worry that people will use it against me. So i'm living and laughing vicariously through you. I think that despite our family having invented funny...i'm thinking that perhaps you may have invented it first but just didn't get the patent filed...and as you know it's all about patent wars these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753277.post-43219143092875442482012-10-14T18:59:15.694-07:002012-10-14T18:59:15.694-07:00Having taught both Claire and Leigh and seeing Els...Having taught both Claire and Leigh and seeing Elsa in Primary...I now have a picture in my mind of how this activity looked.

Our oldest -- the sweet little girl who learned how to tie her shoes and then tied her Barbie doll to the piano leg with 16 excruciatingly complicated knots - is expecting her own baby any minute now. I'm hoping she salvaged some good (ie: non-bondage) parenting skills from her years under our roof.

In addition to Polly, there were pets, little trees,etc.<br />The chant on the way home from the Toys R Us was "Don't open them in the car!" I imagined the tiny Polly parts cascading deep down into recesses behind seats, into door crevices, under mats, and dreaded the ensuing squeals of horror, the angst-laden appeals for intercession, should this mishap occur.cdillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464173254370782343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753277.post-83864118390559875752011-06-29T08:05:05.631-07:002011-06-29T08:05:05.631-07:00My girls have 'em, but they've been replac...My girls have 'em, but they've been replaced by those toys with the "web code" so they can go online and interract with others.
