* THE Snowsuit

"GOSH"... this boy is too "dang" funny! His mom sent him with his NEW snowsuit to school. She said: "It's for recess."

The next day, he was getting ready for school. His mom said, "Where is your snowsuit?" He said: "I left it at school in the lunch room." Students go to recess, wash up, and then go to lunch, wearing their snowgear.

Mom said: "Did you take your snowsuit off after recess before you ate your lunch?"

"No, I didn't wear my snowsuit at recess, I carried it."

Sure enough! The new snowsuit was found in the lunchroom, wet and covered with mud. He had indeed been carrying it around at recess, dragging it along the snow and through the mud. This 8 year old boy is SUPER SMART... but sometimes common sense is ....aaaa.... "missing!"

This is a photo of him "WEARING HIS SNOWSUIT" the next day!
I love this BOY!

**PS... Another time, he told his mom his suit was too tight and it hurt him when he wore it. Then he asked earnestly, "Are you suppose to put the straps on the outside of your coat, or should I put my coat on over my snowpants?" CUTE!

* Toddler Rules !

This little boy's daddy bought him this shirt. I have read these rules before (found an extended version, listed below) and have watched lots of little kidd-0's over the years LIVE these LAWS of PROPERTY. Enjoy! I love, love, LOVE this little guy. I tried to get him to talk more. He's just 2... and he talks alot... thoughtful and downright 6 year old sentences. Thanks for letting me share this little guy with you!

1. If I like it it's MINE !

The Spoiled Under 30 Crowd
If you are 30 or older, you will think this is hilarious!!!! If not, send it to your parents! They'll think it's funny! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning .... Uphill BOTH ways . Yadda, yadda, yaddaAnd I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in heck I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a dang Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've got it!

1. When I was a kid, we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the dang library and look it up ourselves... In the card catalog!! (Do you even know what a card catalog is? Didn't think so!)
2. There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter... With a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!3. There were no MP3's or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the dang record store and shoplift it yourself! Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up!
4. We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
5. And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
6. We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like "Space Invaders" and "asteroids" and the graphics were horrible! Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
7. When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were just screwed!
8. Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15 channels and there was no onscreen menu! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!And there was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons!
9. And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove or go build a fire ... Imagine that! If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing or a pan with HOT oil and Real popcorn kernels and shake it all over the stove forever like an idiot.
10. When we were on the phone with our friends and our parents walked-in, we were stuck to the wall with a cord, a 7 foot cord that ran to the phone - not the phone base, the actual phone. We barely had enough length to sit on the floor and still be able to twirl the phone cord in our fingers. If you suddenly had to go to the bathroom - guess what we had to do..... Hang up and talk to them later.That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled!! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980!
Regards, The over 30 Crowd
