As I was at work I pondered the "kiddie question" (see prev post as to what it might mean) and came up with a list of good things you can do with kids;
1)they can wash the car,
2)it's like having a second childhood (not that I'll need an excuse!!!)
3)mowing the lawn,
4)the pride of raising a responcible member of society,
5)they can do the washing up (no need for a dishwasher - saves money)
6)getting to read childrens books again (and not feel silly for it)
7)getting out the trainset,
8)the whole "having adventures" (ie - kid's great imaginations)
9)the return of Santa (and the Tooth Fairy, Easter Bunny, etc)
10)being a family......
now there is a list of reasons not to have a kid, but it's a lot more negative (involves things like what you can no longer do, etc) so I'm going to ignore it. Like I'm ignoring Matty's comment from the last post.
And yes, this is how I fill my working day, by following random thoughts. There's a good reason why. Since I've seen some of the scary driving out on the roads I've just been getting this horrible feeling in the back of my mind that I'm about to crash at any moment. It's mainly the fault of those idiots that drive up one-way streets, especially the one that nearly rammed my car when I didn't see it coming as I pulled onto Oxford St. But since then I've just had this nagging feeling that it's about to get very messy, and that's very off putting!!!
Now, has anyone seen the news on BBC yet today?? If so you may have noticed that they've updated the weather map to "all new 3D imaging". For those of you who haven't seen it, it's rubbish. Britain (and Wales in the local weather) has become a muddy brown with moving shadows and indistinctive rain. I say bring back the old map!!!!
