Family life
Filed in: Ed's blog spot
A wise man was telling me a couple of gems to help us get through family life.
Never let the sun set on an argument. Great idea, but if I lived by that maxim, I would get to sleep once every two weeks.
When your first daughter is born, go and talk to a tree for 15 minutes. Repeat this tree-talking ritual every night for 13 years, by which time you will be ready. (This sort of reminds me of a school teacher I once had, who said that kids are great, as long as they are born at 18.)
And then he finished with a story about a friend who had lost 2 wives. The first wife died from an overdose, and the second from a fractured skull. That bitch wouldn't swallow the pills.
Got any more?
