PS
A variation on the expression you made famous in this thread:

Talk to the Hand

Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone has been testing a genuine two-way wristwatch telephone. The watch, which dials by voice command, works with Japan's Personal Handyphone System (PHS), a network with plentiful local transmitters that accommodate especially small phones. Swatch, meanwhile, has similar plans: At last year's CeBIT electronics show in Germany, the Swiss company showed the amazing and funky Swatch Talk, which has a built-in microphone, speaker, antenna, and transmitter. Numbers for dialing are positioned around the bezel. When Swatch Talk debuts next year, it will use the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)--except in the United States, where it won't be sold.

Hey Brooke,

Betcha you have a hard time seeing your bunny slippers when you are standing. You must be major preggers by now.

Have a Pepsi!

Hiya Brooke!

Well, by my calender, you don't have long at all to wait for "baby makes 3" to arrive. Found this today and thought of you. Most here have already "been there and done that"...but thought you might get a grin, or a grimace. <g>

Parenting Test

How To Know Whether or Not You Are
Ready to Have Children...

Mess Test:
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and
curtains. Place a fish stick behind the
couch and leave it there all summer.

Toy Test:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos
are not available, you may substitute roofing
tacks) Have a friend spread them all over
the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to
walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not
scream. (This could wake a child at night.)

Grocery Store Test:
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are
best) and take them with you as you shop
at the grocery store. Always keep them in
sight and pay for anything they eat or
damage.

Dressing Test:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus.
Stuff into a small net bag, making sure that
all arms stay inside.

Feeding Test:
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill
halfway with water. Suspend from the
ceiling with a stout cord.
Start the jug swinging. Try to insert
spoonfuls of soggy cereal (such as
Fruit Loops or Cheerios) into the mouth of
the jug, while pretending to be an airplane.
Now dump the contents of the jug on
the floor.

Night Test:
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and
fill it with 8 - 12 pounds of sand. Soak it
thoroughly in water. At 8:00 PM, begin to
waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 PM.
Lay down your bag and set your alarm for
10:00PM. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing
every song you have ever heard. Make
up about a dozen more and sing these too
until 4:00 AM.
Set alarm for 5:00 AM. Get up and make
breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years.
Look cheerful.

Physical Test (Women):
Obtain a large beanbag chair and attach it
to the front of your clothes. Leave it there
for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans.

Physical Test (Men):
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your
wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help
himself. Now proceed to the nearest food
store. Go to the head office and arrange for
your paycheck to be directly deposited to
the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home
and read it quietly for the last time.

Final Assignment:
Find a couple who already has a small
child. Lecture them on how they can improve
their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet
training, and child's table manners.
Suggest many ways they can improve.
Emphasize to them that they should never
allow their children to run riot.

Enjoy this experience. It will be the last
time you will have all the answers.

Keep us informed, Brooke!

E!..ready to be an "Aunt" again :)
