This is no joke... my IE crashed three times trying to download Firefox.... so I gave up. Maybe Microsoft put a grenade in the software to discourage people from downloading it. I wouldn't put it past them. But I might try it again. Youtube only crashes the IE browser about 10% of the time for me.

I suspect my problems are to do with my flash player, as Edie suggested. I'm just too lazy.

The men of the house especially might appreciate this one.

As I've mentioned my son is 8 (going on 20 ). So we're on the train last night and along with the puking drunk, there was a woman who's blouse was WAY too low cut and, well, one was going to literally pop out of her blouse at any moment.

So, I see it and turn to my son (who is sitting behind me, next to hubby) to see if he's noticed it. OH YES HE HAS. He's STARING, bug-eyed. Can't stop looking. Totally drawn to it. So, like a grown man nudging his buddy, he elbows my husband and is grinning from ear to ear, so big that both dimples are showing full force. He nudges hubby and says, "Hey dad" and lifts his chin towards the woman.

At this point hubby sees this as an opportunity for a life lesson. He says, in an overly serious tone with an underlying adult hint of humor, "Son, there's an art to it and you must perfect it. It's like looking at the sun. You can't look for very long. Only quick glimpses . . . and you must NEVER get caught. This son is a life lesson that will carry you far in life."

So I actually catch my son later practicing, in an effort to perfect the art. Friggin' hysterical. He keeps looking and then quickly looking away. BUT, his facial expression is SO OBVIOUS as to what he's doing that it's just hysterical.

Then, after we get off the train he asks, all serious, "Hey dad, is it okay if you look more than once, or can you only look once?" To which hubby replied, "Son, you can look as much as you want as long as you don't get caught. Always remember, you must never get caught. It takes a talented man to look many times without drawing attention to what they are really doing."

My son's first life lesson . . .

He doesn't have any hormones, C, at eight. He's just copying his Dad. Or doing something... that by the tone of your post... pleases his parents.

I know. The scary thing is, he's been "copying his dad (and uncle AND Grandpa)" since he was 3 and drooling over female figure skaters on tv and commenting that he "likes the ones that have their tummy showing."

Crankyfeet

Well at least you don't have any worries about him wanting a same gender marriage.

Hey, you just added that last part . . . Are you nuts? I don't encourage such sexist behavior. His father and uncle are the influence, not me. Geez Cranky.

No, seriously, it's a natural curiosity. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. Society breeds it because we cover ourselves up and make the human body taboo. Well, that makes many kids, especially mine, MORE curious.

The comedy hour though? That's his dad, uncle and grandfather in him.

thunder

you are such a CWRH C'dale

thunder

yeah he does Cwankies.


Mr and Mrs C'dale are doping him to be the next Fraud Flandis

C'dale Girl

Ahhh, you changed it. Just when I was going to question what you meant because the C was missing and I couldn't (and still can't) figure out the W. Have an idea, but you usually just say CRH.

The C seems to more fit Cranky though, who's now making negative judgments about me and my family. (j/k)

thunder

conservative white republican housewife

C'dale Girl

Yeah, you know us thunder . . . especially Mr. C and his love of cycling . . . definitely raising our boy to be the next LA.

Just ask our boy and he will tell you . . . he's the next Dominic Hasek.

C'dale Girl

What I figured. But you never usually say the white part. Figured that's what it was though.

Bro Deal

Look! It's an interracial, gay married couple burning an american flag.
