ER

A good bit of advice to give my children, or anyone, might be to live you life in age-appropriate stages, don't skip ahead, don't fall behind, don't try to hold onto the past, don't try to reach out too much for the future, appreciate now, be who you are now. Your life will more complete that way, and you'll probably be happier, with fewer regrets.

How do ice cream men not go completely crazy hearing that song day in and day out? It droves me nuts just hearing it for a few minutes

I quit wondering that shortly after noticing ALL my neighbors (even the classy ones) were getting them woofie thingies in their car stereos...
Though, I must admit, it was a wee tad troubling to learn that the ice cream truck is slightly louder than my lawn mower....

Cerberus - I think they use some special kind of speakers that like cut through the air and into your brain.

You know you're hungry when South America starts looking like an ice cream cone.

Who, the neighbors or the ice cream man?

both. I think the drum sounds on the ice cream trucks are actually harsher though. might be using an mpc 60 drum machine like old Mobb Deep records

iirc the ice cream guy after school had ear buds and a smart phone and would be listening to his music before school let out. So my guess is that they would have some sort of ear buds to silence the song.
yeah no.

What if boogers are actually the larva form of common garden slugs - when we pick them or blow them they come to life, crawl outside, and live happily until someone pours salt on them?

If you believe certain horror films, they already ARE crazy.

I can top it, I looked at a Dalmatian once and thought, "Mmmmm... cookies and cream ice cream!"

You can lull an entire cabin full of teenage boys to sleep by pretending to talk in your sleep and launching into a long, detailed description of your World War II combat mission "dream."  :teddyr:

ER

Sometimes for no earthly reason I tell my children spontaneous lies, like cauliflower is made out of a brain, and we almost named you "Fanny", my wedding ring holds my finger on, and I don't know where your grandma came from, we just found her in the closet when we moved here.

Now I can't wait til they're teenagers so I can update the lies to more constructive things like, "No, I never did drugs. Yes, I always made good grades. And, why, of course your father was my only boyfriend."

The possibilities intoxicate me.

Think of it this way, if your brain ceases to function, you can always get a job in politics.

To be honest with you, politics, and for that matter, journalism, are starting to remind me way too much of school...
The cliques
The selective enforcement of the rules
etc...
