Look at the happy mother in her modern clean house.<BR/>Marvel at how the grinning child isn't kicking, screaming and dipping its fingers into the poo and attempting to wipe it on mum's face.<BR/>Gasp as the lid stays open and the wipe glides majestically from the dispenser, the perforations seeming disolving upon contact with air.<BR/>Gape as the mum wafts the wipe in the general vicinity of arse and the poo is magically transported to another dimension.<BR/><BR/>Gah.myninjacocklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10061734136188769866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-75276789891474587152008-08-12T00:51:00.000-07:002008-08-12T00:51:00.000-07:00Nothing further to add here...they've said it all....Nothing further to add here...they've said it all.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-30267980977239366452008-08-11T19:12:00.000-07:002008-08-11T19:12:00.000-07:00Mmmm Ice cream, I like Icecream...HEY!!

It's like the Olympics is this sudden excuse for the entire country to pretend it's 1943.<BR/><BR/>Kath - Did you know that "Dopey Dad" is an actual advertising construct designed and used especially for advertising? Not only is he a way of demeaning men watching to keep out of the kitchens and bathrooms and in the loungeroom and garage (buying man things from tools to TVs), but to do this he also needs "Expert Mum" and "Precocious Child" to look on and shake their heads at his bone-headed activities. Thus, Expert Mum and Precocious Child never get to leave the kitchens, bathrooms, wherever. <BR/>Blog post coming soon ...<BR/><BR/>T.O.o.S. - Ha ha haaaa. Of course not! No. Noooo. Ha ha haaa. Never. Now let's all forget our troubles with a big bowl of strawberry ice-cream!<BR/><BR/>Giggle - That's right. And it will be ALL YOUR FAULT for not being a DEVOTED ENOUGH MOTHER. Just telling it like is. <BR/>Wait a minute! What are you doing on the computer anyway?

Sapphire has excesma too, but for an adult to have it as severely as Mele does and for the emergency ward to not take it seriously is f**king unforgivable. Please send her my regards - I hope that the Bribie Island move will eventually mean that she won't have to waste her time in such a hellhole that is obviously the 'hospital' up there.<BR/><BR/>GREAT view re the ad - maybe you were listening in to Love Chunks and myself when we were 'treated' to repeated viewings of it over the weekend?<BR/>LC: "Oh right another ad where the blokes are either invisible or total mental pygmies...."<BR/>moi: "Why doesn't she just drop that kid off and go back to bed....?"<BR/>LC: "Why doesn't she dong that kid over the head with the plate to snap him out of his selfish daze?"<BR/>moi: "Why don't coles recognise that there are more helpers out there than housewives?"<BR/><BR/>AUGH!

Have you seen Red Rooster's one with the dude painting the Great Wall red? Unbelievable.<BR/><BR/>This one is the worst though. And you're right - we all know that the greatest thing a woman can do is live her life ENTIRELY for her child.
