Traumatizing your children

When my kids were little, we'd be doing something - riding on a rollercoaster, let's say - and I'd tell them, "You know, I knew this kid one time who was on a rollercoaster just like this. And he had a fracture in his spine. But he didn't *know* he had a fracture in his spine. Anyway, at the end of the coaster ride, you know how the coaster kind of jerks to a stop? Well, it jerked this kid and his head popped clean off his neck. It was awful. Oh look...we're starting up! Hold on!"



So now that they're adults, all I have to say is, "You know, I knew this kid one time..." and they groan.

Ahhh....I love kids. They're so fun!

We are constantly telling my youngest son that he is from Mars. He actually believes it too. We tell him that when he got here he only had 3 fingers and he had no belly button and we had to pay a plastic surgeon to make him look like the rest of the little kids so he wouldn't know. One of these days I expect to get a phone call from either his teacher or his school counselor!

My little one learned about Noah's ark at Sunday school this past Sunday. He now thinks that if you are bad and don't listen to God, mommy or daddy, God will make it rain and destroy the Earth and kill everyone.

That's a keeper!

Daughter loves roller coasters and last year was her first time on the Anaconda. We were already on the ride and on our way up hill when I told her to hold her breath as we went under water. She freaked!! She started fussing and I had to tell her I was just kidding. Count me in as a mean mommy, too.

I was asmatic when I was a boy so I'd always weeze and cough. well I guess my Dad got tired of me disturbing him so one day he took me aside and told me that their was a new study by doctors that said "every time you cough you die a little" It got to the point I'd almost drowned on my own phlem. I didnt want to die.
