I had to chuckle when I read that part about you removing the toy cars from the washing machines. I'm assuming they were all intact. <br /><br />Recently, we had to clean up the messy remains of a shredded diaper that was accidentally tossed into the wash.

When my son was learning to talk at nursery school the matron washed his mouth out with soap for not pronouncing the word "truck" properly. She seemed to think I'd taught him a bad word. I wasn't happy about this and it took him some time to say "truck", and couldn't master "lorry", either.<br />The photos are wonderful - I especially like the fridge one.<br />Thanks Dude!Frankie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787954599014677407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2347493753441352036.post-88755599206616054772014-01-25T03:19:47.444-05:002014-01-25T03:19:47.444-05:00Kids sure make life interesting.

I ask, wondering how to break the news. "Well, apparently, she says it several times a day, over everything that happens."<br /><br />"Oh, Jesus Christ," says my mom.<br /><br />Silence.<br /><br />"Okay, point taken," says my mom.Dianne K.
