A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
The brat has his little friends. They can be quite a handful from time to time. One of them came over a little while ago and was practically nose-to-nose with the not-small t.v set. When I asked her to move back a bit, she scooched back barely half an inch. So I asked her to... Continue Reading →
A lot of us just imitate potatoes (or any other veggies if you're cutting down on starch) on the weekends. And any doctor worth their salt erm degrees will tell you that some moments of inertia are needed. Whether you use that to contemplate, zone out or catnap; it's all good. But too much of inertia...

Getting to and into bed turns into an obstacle course full of adventure in the dark! So what else is new?
This book speaks for itself. It's non-preachy and basically talks about the incomprehensible, inexplicable turns a person's life takes once they become a parent. From juice boxes to joy, partying to poop and basically the utter, utter delight and nerve-wracking situation that is parenthood. Brian Gordon is someone every parent and non-parent should read (although... Continue Reading →

We've had similar incidents earlier also. Want to know what else is going on? Well there's a mini Giant Octopus hiding behind... Continue Reading →
The last couple of days have been a series of facepalm moments for me. Let me clarify that. It's been a series of facepalm moments as a parent. Kids do silly things, naughty things, dangerous things but there are these moments which are just out and out, facepalm hall of fame ones. The two that... Continue Reading →
an answer, that is. It might not be the one you wanted to hear because let's admit it; we seldom ask questions we don't know or want the answers to. Especially the existential kind. Even with the academic kind, we're hoping that we don't have to be in situations where algebraic equations or doing a... Continue Reading →
On the 4th day of 2016 my kid went back to schoooool...and a partridge in a pear tree! Not! I couldn't help myself...am still in holiday mode and the 12 days of Christmas is one of my favorite holiday songs along with the Carol of the Bells. But this version of the latter is one...
