I don't want you to get bored looking at me and hubby in the garden last year, so I'll show it to you in the daylight, my refuge where the foxes wander.
There is not much that many of you don't know about me now, I enjoy a good laugh and if I can find one I will. If I can make someone smile my day is complete. I enjoy people and people watching but do not suffer fools easily, mainly because my dad told me I would be one when I grew up, and I think he may have been right.
I was born in Yorkshire and the extended family are still there but we now live in Staffordshire, we being my husband of 33 years and our two sons, well one of them has left and lives with his partner a girl whom we love dearly.
My latest hobby is writing and from this I am learning a great deal from and about people, that write.
My latest, latest thing to keep me occupied is making myself a nice new fleece top, it's getting cold and my old one; which must be 12 years old has had to be sent to a better place and I miss it already RIP>

WHY PARENTS HAVE GREY HAIR
Blog Posted:1/22/2013 2:07:00 AM

 

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?" Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster, the boss asked, "Is your Daddy home?" 

"Yes" whispered the small voice. 

"May I talk with him?" the man asked. 

To the surprise of the boss, the small voice whispered, "No." 

Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is your Mommy there?" 

"Yes" came the answer. 

"May I talk with her?" 

Again, the small voice whispered, "No" 

Knowing that it was not likely that a young child would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just leave a message with the person who should be there watching over the child. "Is there any one there besides you?" the boss asked the child. 

"Yes" whispered the child, "a policeman." 

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?" 

"No he's busy" said the little voice. 

"Busy doing what?" asked the boss. 

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the fireman." came the whispered answer. 

Growing concerned and even worried as he heard the sound of a helicopter through the ear piece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?" 

"A hello-copper" answered the whispering voice. 

"What is going on there?!" asked the boss, now getting alarmed. 

In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper." 

Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated, the boss asked, "What are they searching for?!" 

Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle, "Me!"

    My 3 year old ask to go swimming while I was on the phone. I hung up and when I turned around he was gone... Everyone was searching the pools and water holes for a little boy who couldn't swim... Mine... He was found safe and sound with a neighbor... She had told him to ask his Mama if he could go swimming with them... One phone call... sooo much trouble and fear... The neighbors were very nice...

    True story. our little boy disappeared from the house we couldn't find him anywhere he would have been about 3 after tearing the house apart knowing he could not get out I had reached despair when I heard a little snoring noise in the wardrobe, where I had already searched. In the wardrobe was a little overnight bag , he had crawled into it and fallen asleep. We kept the bags out of reach after that.

    I had a bad hair day. I asked the hairdresser to put a colour through mine to dull it down a bit (it gets a bit light) she suggested Ash blonde..I said ok and this is where I had a true blonde moment... I never realised the colour of Ash is grey, I aged about twenty years and now it has gotta go lol cc

    My Dad would've agreed entirely with your blog title! When used to tell people that he had seven children they'd say "No wonder you're going bald!" to which he'd reply "Nah, the hair-loss is down to my sisters, the fact that what's left is going grey is down to the kids!"

    Ah! this is awesome Mandy. Once my nephew hid behind the main door and the entire building was out searching for him. Luckily I located him before the hello-copper was called for!:)
