Clowning Around While Carrying A Purse (2001)

As a child I was always amazed at how twenty clowns could climb out of a Volkswagon.

Of course, as an adult I know the magic trick, and no one could tell me otherwise.

 

At least I thought no one would try and pull another one of those stunts-especially on an

adult until I saw a commercial featuring “The Perfect Purse”.

 

“The Perfect Purse” is supposed to make my life more easy and managable. All I have to do

is swing it by the skinny strap over my shoulders and off I go. It’s portable and has two

compartments and is about four times the size of a coin purse. I was waiting for the commercial,

to head in the direction, of pulling the kitchen sink out of “the perfect purse”, for that is what is

required for most women, including myself.

 

My life could be more managable if I didn’t have everything excluding the kitchen sink in my purse.

How could I possibly manage getting through the day without digging for my keys, while coming upson several

small toys that the kids had thrown in when I wasn’t looking? Or while at the grocery store,

how could I check out without digging out not only my checkbook and identification,

but also those coupons that I had seen in the purse last week.

 

No!”The Perfect Purse” is not for me, even though they throw in two more purses for the same price.

(Still not enough room.) The only way that I could deal with the ordering of The Perfect Purse is to

have a suitcase to carry under it. Kinda reminds you of those clowns getting out of the Volkswagon doesn’t it?

 

 

“In the purse a little more room must be found-
And as an expert I’m not just saying that in order
to clown around!”

Picky Eaters Take Care Of Themselves (2001)

I was reading an ad the other day about kids being fussy eaters. I can believe that one for I had three of them and as a matter of fact I was once one myself.

The main thought that I got from the ad sponsored by pork, the other white meat, was that kids are much more likely to eat something that they help to prepare. I can imagine that the helping of the preparation makes it more interesting. a stir here, or a put that here gets the childs interest.

I think that the worst part of a child being a fussy eater is the parents worry that the child eats so little, that he or she may starve to death. My grandfather told me in later years that he just knew that I was going to starve to death when I was little because it seemed like I ate less than a bird. And then he added, but of course time takes care of itself, for as I got older I took more of an interest in eating. Only a grandfather could get away with saying such a thing. That of course would be another story in itself.

It was true that when I was younger food was not my best friend. I can remember hiding my toast behind the stove so I wouldn’t have to eat it. Apparently my dog was out of reach or I could have disposed of it in that fashion.

Getting back to the kids eating habits, the youngest daughter will take a bite or two and then she’s finished. I can remember taking my two elder daughters to McDonalds and buying one small hamburger. Between the two there would be enough left over for several more kids and one of my brothers would be in the middle of a candy bar and he’d leave the other half on the table.

Actually there is a secret to this whole situation-kids will eat enough to substain themselves whether we think so or not. As parents we don’t need to worry so much. Of course the the little tips that we pick up along the way, such as getting the kids involved in meal preparation doesn’t hurt, for as they say every little bit helps no matter how little.

“Children have to develop the right mood-
In order to sit down and have enough of the proper food!”

 

Candy Canes And Christmas Trees (2001)

A friend put up her Christmas tree and decorated it heavily with candy canes. I use the word heavily because it’s funny how the candy canes begin to disappear from the tree as soon as they’re put on there.

Surely it’s not some little magical elves taking them off, but her own grandchildren. Experience from past years has brought her to the conclusion, that if there are to be any candy canes left for Christmas day then she must line them heavily on the tree!

I love candy canes. It used to be that they were only red and white striped, but now they come in a variety of colors and flavors. A friend at work happened to mention the chocolate ones. I haven’t seen any, but it sounds good to me.

Originally they were made to help keep the kids quiet at church, but after doling out a few to my own grandchildren I find that they’ll keep kids quiet for a few no matter where they are.

I think I’ll put a few on my tree. Make that more than a few for as my friend has taught..a few does not travel very far.

“Candy canes on the tree-
A delight for all the kids to eat and see!”
