sco888 The last time my family and I went on a plane trip, we made sure that my daughters had all the things they needed to make the trip "bearable". That means - books, crayons, drawing pad, favorite toys, crackers and juice.

We're having a baby', 'we're pregnant', or 'she's pregnant'?

ArienKing @ArienKing (4647) • India 16 Feb 07

Guys: If your girlfriend/wife was expecting, would you say 'we're pregnant', or 'she's pregnant'?

sco888 My wife is pregnant. When we announced to everyone that she was, I just said, "My wife's pregnant!". It was straight to the point.

My youngest Daughter and Foster Care

linda345 @linda345 (2661) • Canada 15 Feb 07

My youngest daughter was placed in foster care in November not because I was beating her or anything but because of behavioural issues. I was unable to control them and everything was getting out of hand. I still take her horse...

sco888 I cannot imagine putting any of my daughters to foster care. It must have been heartwrenching for you. Sometimes, parents make sacrfices for the good of their loved ones - this is one of those.

sco888 I HAVE to take a bath everyday even if it means that I take it late at night. The thought of not doing it makes me itch all over. Bath is very refreshing and it seems to make the aches and pains of everyday life go away.

smartcooldude1386 @smartcooldude1386 (286) • India 16 Feb 07

sco888 I'm way, way better at cooking than my wife - and she knows it!!! That's why, she would have me cook dinner at least once a week. I learned to cook at an early age and I think it would be good (and advantageous)for boys to learn this skill as well.

sco888 I was my wife's first kiss (and she kissed me first, mind you!). And many years later, I still believe the magic is there. As for my first kiss, well, I don't even remember her name. If I still do, and my wife finds out, probably she'll kill me.

sco888 Dragon That's my mom. But hey, I'm not aiming it as an insult, alright? She was relentless in her role as a mom to us, kids. Many years later, the kids became successful in their careers, had wonderful families, and so on. Thanks to the dragon.
