    Chocolate Chicken

    Daughter phoned me up, "Is it OK to cycle into town?"

    "Yes, of course," I replied, "what are you going for?"

    "It's a secret."

    "OK"...

    A few hours later daughter phones me up again, this time crying...

    "What's up?" I enquire.

    "I bought you a chocolate chicken as a present, but then it kept saying it wanted me to eat it. Now I've eaten it, and I don't have it as a present for you any more."
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

    I somehow feel that this isn't going to win the Post of the Year Award.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

        Threaded : You mention that the chicken "talked" to her. Um, child shrink on the cards I reckon.
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

            Actually, it means me and Mrs BGG can do what we want, when we want, how we want, without having rugrats to worry about (or pets for that matter).

            Not that I don't have admiration for those that wish to subject themselves to such torture (sorry, I mean make the sacrifice and raise children), but something I read today made me stop and think.

            Can't remember if it was on here on in the paper (and CBA to check), but basically someone was saying that, after a hard day at work, and all the stress of modern life and hassle, coming home to their wife who held their 2 year old at the window as they pulled in to the drive, and her (the 2 year old !) wiggling and waving as she saw Daddy, made him somehow feel complete.

            And I thought to myself.

            Am I missing out ?

            And I realised no.

            Because if I wanted something that loved me unconditionally, shat everywhere and cost me a fortune, I'd get a freaking dog.

            At least you could feed it, lock it in the dog den, and then play WOW or go out with your missus and your mates.

            Ah.....holidays..and kennels....more cost...feck it...scratch the dog.

            I'll stay as I am thanks, and kudos to those who have infinitely more patience and other better qualities than me and the missus. It's a hard job, we applaud you.

              They puke all over your expensive new wool carpet and gnaw your stereo too. You forgot those. Then they grow up and no matter how hard you try you can't get rid of them!
