Though we do still see the "I've got my head stuck" variety from time to time that reminds us that our three girls really are still the same little girls they once were.Damian Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186889040243262544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-10020786796591127132008-08-01T15:13:00.000+01:002008-08-01T15:13:00.000+01:00Of course, vests that are put on inside-out work j...Of course, vests that are put on inside-out work just as well, as vests, and since they're hidden away aesthetics don't really come into it. Or so my grumpy five-year-old self would have said. My father made a note of all our "funny little sayings", and one my regulars was apparently a mulish "As I dress, I stay!"

Lovely, sensible woman.<BR/><BR/>Damian, do you have teenagers? Mine have even worse outbursts now, but usually not about undressing. Most likely it's a computer not doing as it's told. I have three screamers in the house, and just want to go and hide when I hear them start up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-43856550139764780312008-08-01T01:03:00.000+01:002008-08-01T01:03:00.000+01:00I like a lad with grit and determination!
