Nick I know you meant that to be funny, but my best friend lost her 7 month old son to SIDS. It nearly crushed her. They waited over a year before thinking about the next one. BTW they are due in July.

 

Oh. I'm terribly sorry for them.

There never seems to be a good time for jokes made in poor taste anymore. Darn internet age and globalization.

 

Man Kim! You sure put the quits on that joke!



It all depends on the crowd you are in. Kind of like telling a God/Devil joke in church. They don't laugh much at that. They just end up puting you in all their prayers tht night.

 

RS-GIRLZ,

I have a question for you and I am not trying to be funny about it. I have a little girl (9 almost 10). She always wants to go fast. She loves the turbo feeling and asking to make the turbo go. Then it comes to handling and cornering. SHE begs me to drive fast in the esses and make her fly around in her seat. I try to tell her that every once in awhile when the conditions ( NO TRAFFIC )are good then maybe I will, but not every DAMN time we get in the car.

I am a single parent trying to do my best to figure out WHY she likes and wants this. Any ideas here from the other gender would be great. Thanks in advanced.

 

I don't think it is a gender issue at this point, it sounds like she just likes the ride! Every-day Roller-coaster.

I know of somone else's kids that really liked it when their parent took them on long, bumpy, fast, rides. I think it is just a kid-thing.


Sounds like you may make a gear-head out of your daughter!

 

My 5 year old boy loves me to take turns fast. But one day I told him that it is not safe to do that with other cars around and to always drive safe and the speed limit. Sounds good right?

BUT...Now, he is always pointing out that other cars are not going the speed limit if I get passed and that the cops are going to give them a ticket or if I pass another car he tells me that I am speeding. He even tells me when the lights are red and to slow down.

I created my own little traffic cop!
