| just got this today and thought of this thread ;) HOW TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE READY TO HAVE KIDS: MESS TEST Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fishstick behind the couch and leave it there all summer. TOY TEST Obtain a 55 gallon box of Legos (or you may substitute roofing tacks) and have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold and walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night. GROCERY STORE TEST Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage. DRESSING TEST Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus and stuff it into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside. FEEDING TEST Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water and suspend it from the ceiling with a cord. Swing the jug and attempt to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug. (Pretending to be an airplane helps.) When complete, dump the contents of the jug on the floor. NIGHT TEST Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have everheard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these until 4:00a.m. Set your alarm for 5:00a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful. INGENUITY TEST Take an egg carton and using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a ping-pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs and make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower. AUTOMOBILE TEST Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime and stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies and mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along the side of the car. There, perfect. PHYSICAL TEST (Women) Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans. And try not to notice your closet full of clothes. You won't be wearing them for a while. PHYSICAL TEST (Men) Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest foodstore. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be direct-deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time. FINAL ASSIGNMENT Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training practices and their child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers. |

I hate when non-child adults tell me what to do or not do. And I can not wait for pay back ;) ;) ;) |

| slm Insha Allah when the time comes, Allah will bless me and my husband with child(ren) who are healthy and happy. Not being able to have any children would be a bit of a blow, but at least one and no limits is a blessing from Allah. wasalaam eleanor |
