They say that your life is shortened if you don't sleep enough.
I wonder then, how many years shorter does my life become from parenting?

Poop - Noam's first word
What if the first word Noam will learn to say is "poop". Wouldn't be strange considering how often that word is being used around babies.
"Oh, you pooped again!"
"What is that smell, have you pooped?"
"That is a big poop!"
"Do you need to poop?"
"Strange that you haven't pooped today."
And it goes on and on and on...
"Oh, you pooped again!"
"What is that smell, have you pooped?"
"That is a big poop!"
"Do you need to poop?"
"Strange that you haven't pooped today."
And it goes on and on and on...

Why use the seats on the bus when there's a whole floor?
You know those seats on the bus, that you fold down to sit on, and that goes up again when you leave your seat.
Sat on one of those today, on my way home from a friends place. Got up quickly to throw a paper in the bin just a meter away, in front of me.
Then, forgot what kind of seat it was, and sat down without looking. Of course the seat had gone up as soon as I got up, so when I sat down again I ended up on the floor instead of the seat.
Just a bit embarassing.

The trolls have taken my child
Someone has swapped my baby!!
It's true! You can't tell by looking at her, because the baby I've got now looks just like my daughter. But there are a few things that made me realize that the trolls had been here and taken my baby and left a different one in her place.
My baby barely screamed. This one can scream loud!
My baby most of the time slept until eight in the morning. This one seems to think that waking up at half past five is a good idea.
My baby used to be light and easy to carry. This one is heavy!
My baby used to lye still and smile when changing her diapers. This one twists and turns so that it's impossible to get the diaper on properly.
My babies poop didn't really smell. This one's poop sure does smell.
Well, I think I will keep this child even though she has all these strange behaviors. Because even though she makes me freak more often than the one that the trolls took, she also makes me laugh much more.

"The girl in the cafe"
Watched a really good film yesterday called "The girl in the cafe". Dialogue from the movie:
"Why were you in prison?"
"I hurt a man"
"Why did you hurt a man?"
"Because he hurt a child"
"Was it your child?"
"Does it matter who's child it was?"
"Why were you in prison?"
"I hurt a man"
"Why did you hurt a man?"
"Because he hurt a child"
"Was it your child?"
"Does it matter who's child it was?"

Women are also born with body hair
A few days ago my sister looked at my legs and said "Didn't you wax your legs recently?" And her face told me her opinion of the length of the hair on my legs.
Ok, yes, it is long. I just haven't gotten round to wax again. I will. But I wish I wouldn't. I wish I could just say "Fuck it!"
But I can't. I am too brainwashed by living 30 years in a world were it is considered okay for men to have hair everywhere, while women are supposed to have no hair, apart from on their head.
It is ridiculous. Hello! It might come as a surprise to some people, but women are also born with it!
Many people, both women and men, claim that it's disgusting when women don't shave their armpits. How can something that we are born with be considered disgusting on a woman but not on a man?! That pisses me off!
And even if I am brainwashed, and therefor shave both armpits and legs, I totally respect the ones that don't, the ones that has the courage to raise above the norms about masculinity and femininity.

Not my day
Not really my day today it seems.
Was sawing this morning. Well, maybe sawing is an overstatement. A button on my shorts was loose, and I fixed it with needle and thread. A few hours later, when I was sitting down with some friends, I felt something pinching me in my lower regions. After a while I put my hand in my shorts to find out what it was. It was a needle, hanging in a thread. I had just left it hanging there, hadn't cut the thread of after sawing this morning. How can someone be that distracted, dizzy, stupid, call it whatever you want.
Later, when I was boiling carrots and potatoes for Noam's pure, I totally forgot that I had something on the stove. When I finally remembered, the only thing left in the pot, was something black on the bottom. Hm, again, call it whatever you want.
