always diaper baby boys quickly

Yeah, I learned that. It's leveled off. But after having 2 girls, whenever I change my son I'm always thinking "Man, that thing is so in the way!"

But he looks like he's having SO much fun when he pulls on it or squishes it. It's a built in toy. No batteries required.

I never thought of it as a built-in toy. I'm just amazed at the pride they have in it this early!

OK, how did we get here? Will the next poster, please get us back on track

Never use regualar dish detergent in the dishwasher. Sudsy, sudsy, sudsy.

I learned this one the hard way, too. We didn't have a dishwasher growing up so how would I have known? lol But I had a super clean floor!

Back on track? Nah. We'll just go off the rails on a crazy train...

Frisky kitten + thanksgiving turkey = hours of amusement, watching them try to play, yawning and half-asleep from the tryptophan...

When talking to men - be sure you are specific! Where I work it is 90% men & 10 % woman. While the guys do respect my presence, they are a bunch of men in one room for 8-12 hours. They are your stereotypical men. I just started this job a year ago - & this was one thing I learned quick!

When referring to the amount of snow that is predicted - be sure you state "inches of snow" after the amount even though the subject is snow days & school closings. Don't just say "6-8 for tonight".

Another example from last winter, one guy usually has a bunch of Jolly Ranchers candy & some gum. My throat was a little raw. I asked him "Do you have anything hard for me to suck on?? As soon as I said it - I turned around & went right back to my office without waiting for a reply. I couldn't look him in the eye for the longest time. To this day, I have never asked him again!

I hear ya! I'm the only girl in my department. I've learned that if I want a snack, hide it or my boss will come graze. When they approach you with chocolate they want something.

No matter how long the trash truck comes at the same time on the same day, the one day you don't set your alarm the truck doesn't come.

Don't put your tongue on an aluminum flagpole in the winter.

I LOVE these! I've got a few more:

Never chop chili peppers before you insert contact lenses.

When you're a 10 yr. old Midwesterner making a fried bologna sandwich...inserting bologna into a toaster is NOT a good short-cut.

Lapsed Catholic? Don't go to the occasional wedding or funeral mass and expect to fake your way through...

Never use regualar dish detergent in the dishwasher. Sudsy, sudsy, sudsy.

I've done that, too!

And on a related note... Don't put bubble bath in a jacuzzi. 8 foot high walls of bubbles are fun, but tough to clean up.
