No more tooth fairy! |

My daughter had lost her tooth this week. And did the usual of putting her tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy to come. Which of cause the tooth fairy came with a generous £2s.
But after returning from school that day she declared that there is no tooth fairy :eek: And her friends say it is the moms & dads that put the money in.
I feel very sad. I love the innonence and belief chidren have in fantasy & magical. I was expecting this to occur at around 10 years not at the age of seven!
For me it seems modern society today just want children to grow up before their years. Making then so aware of everything at a very tender age. Childhood only comes once in a life time! Why the hurry to get through it?

How much does your family drink |

I was wondering how much your family drinks. We are a household of 4 (2 Adults and 2 Children Ages 15 and 12). We go through everyday: 2 sometimes 3 litres of milk, 2 litres of mineral water, 1 litre of fruit juice (diluted 50/50 with some of the above mineral water) and then also about 2 litres of normal tap water. Inbetween this is a couple of cups of tea. I have not included myself in this as I normally only drink tea/coffee with a little milk and tap water. The above is consumed between 3 people is this normal, and in summer it goes up alot more. What to you all drink during the day.

Here are some of mine to start with:
Firstly, " When in Rome, do as the Romans do" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make photo copies of passport, flight tickets, etc, and leave in main luggage. This helps when hand luggage, with all documents in, is lost or stolen.
I wrap all things in bottles (glass or plastic) or in containers that could leak, in plastic carrier bags.
Never travel without my old plastic film container, with two needles and cotton in.
My wash kit (without scissor or razor now days), and a clean pair of socks and undies is always in my hand luggage. When/ if ones luggage is lost, you can at least have a shower after your long flight, and freshen up. Before you start the war of trying to track and wait for your luggage. Or wait for the shops etc to open (especialy if it is a Sunday like happened to a mate in Aberdeen), before you can get you insurance claim approved and shop. And make sure your luggage is marked/labled !!!
Make sure your passport has not already expired, or will while you are away on your trip.
If you have a UK type driver licence, take that other folder with you if you are intending on hiring a car. As some countries require that to confirm you have no pints on your licence, to keep your rate cheap. In the UK they will/can call to confirm this, but it will cost 5 - 2 pounds.
In the shark travel insurance game, there are some policies (in the small print), that only pay you out when you return home. You are expected to fit the bills and claim with proof of expenses on return. Make your sure your insurance pays you out wherever you are traveling to.

Reasons not to mess with a child |

Reasons not to mess with a child:
1. A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah".
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".
2. A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."
3. One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why
are some of your hair white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hair turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hair is white?"
4. The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's
Michael, He's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, She's dead."
5. A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.." "Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?" A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."
6. The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chipcookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples.
