Share what you learned

A few weeks ago, Martin, I and the majority of the Kaos family went to the Portland Zoo.

Here is my presentation of what I learned:


When you find the right person to spend your life with, you will know. Hold on to that person as hard and tight as you possibly can, even if they turn blue from not getting enough oxygen.
(OK, maybe not the tight part, but you get my drift.)




You never know when your biological clock with start ticking. For Martin, it was the day he met K.
(OK, fine, he met her months ago, but just keep reading.)



My husband will be a complete wimp if we have girls. I will need to take away his credit cards or we will have ponies and fairies in our back yard.
(Too far? Yeah, good point. Fairies aren't even real.)



This lady.



Yes, this lady. No matter what shes says, no matter what she does, no matter how many tattoos she adorns herself with. At the end of the day, she is a big sugary tart.




Sometimes you just need a lollipop to get moving again.

Every time someone says fairies aren't real, one of them dies.
Murderer.




Seriously, start clapping now or Tinkerbell will come kick your butt.

That was so lovely. And Martin is adorable, and K and Cami and you. The thing Cami is eating looks kind of like a big scab though. I'm a bit scared.

Oh, and Lilacs comment, funny. :D

Our neighbor, who has three boys (think Lord of the Flies), wondered how I could resist our little girl when she looked at us with big eyes and asked for things.

Good luck with the ponies...

media: Yes, especially when you sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on it!

cami: We'll just have to go back to the zoo. ZOO LIGHTS!

mielikki: She's just plain trouble is what she is.

lilac: You are too then! YOU JUST SAID IT TOO!

jo: A big scab dipped in butter and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon.

jo: Yes, she is a funny, funny girl.

stu: I guess we won't be getting any helpful tips from you. :)

bubble: Yes, and a nutty one at that.

melissa: I lost a bet, otherwise I'd never have posted this.

It's something about dads and daughters- I can't explain it. All I know is that I can buy anything as long as I tell Wal it's for Squidge.

stu said...

Oh, but I can resist the big round eyes of my girl. My neighbor has a hard time resisting her because she is in boy-ville.

No ponies in my back yard.

lindy: Yes, but that bond is so sweet!

stu: But that is probably only because she doesn't want one.
