I never recpvered from reading the Exorcist. Ever. I read it at 14 and even when I had to watch it at Uni for film studies, I was still terrified...fifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946945635726214503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-83984253195446404612009-10-20T13:17:45.828+11:002009-10-20T13:17:45.828+11:00Ah, you say you did nothing but really you were qu...Ah, you say you did nothing but really you were quietly welcoming and relaxed enough to make this boy feel as though your house was a good place to be. And may I applaud the lovely manners of your neighbours? Everyone likes to be appreciated, good on them for demonstrating their appreciation of you.<br /><br />I can't help with horror movies. I have a brain that keeps horrific imprints for ever and I seriously don't want that kind of scary crap flashing up on my psyche. I once got sucked into watching Carrie when I was a teenager (there were boys involved natch) and when her hand shot out of the grave I screamed and then the boys got very angry with me for making them jump.Stomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-33886999804985599372009-10-20T09:14:26.841+11:002009-10-20T09:14:26.841+11:00Okay, I love the story, and I have the same philos...Okay, I love the story, and I have the same philosophy on child-rearing that you seem to have, but NO ONE ADDRESSED THE HORROR MOVIE QUESTION.<br /><br />Because really, on the subject of horror films, I could go ON. The different categories -- monsters? ghosts? demons? psycho killers? -- the classic vs. new, the show or don't show, the importance of a good sound track. Honestly. We'd be here all day.Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08612452005428621885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-22992679852558050392009-10-20T08:05:15.416+11:002009-10-20T08:05:15.416+11:00Oh man !

Mothers everywhere would rejoice. Then you'd come visit me all the time in Germany. With your millions. And all the beer would be on you.<br /><br />And on me. 'Cause I spilled it, donchaknow.

AWESOME. <br /><br />The boys have started hanging out with the boys across the road and I too do nothing. Sometimes even forgetting to acknowledge they've come over (such is the frequency of the coming and going). <br /><br />You know how to the two bigger boys went to my Dad and Sue's for a few days last week? I made them pack their own bags. Didn't even check to see what they'd packed. <br /><br />And not one shred of guilt about it either.KPBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124224647059797583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876579649349842793.post-75993523501344472532009-10-19T22:05:49.112+11:002009-10-19T22:05:49.112+11:00Thank you so much.

Never been rewarded for it, though. <br /><br />PS-I like the way you keep absolving me of any guilt with regards to child-rearing.<br /><br />PPS-You have nice neighbors. But then, I think you already knew that.A Wrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06374286895895073721noreply@blogger.com
