ok, it\u2019s after MIDNIGHT, and i\u2019m fiercely battling a cold that i WILL NOT LET TAKE OVER ME, and i should be sleeping, but i took an antihistimine about 10 minutes ago and i\u2019m waiting for it to make me sleepy, and i HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS:<\/p>\n
DON\u2019T GIVE YOUR BABY FRENCH FRIES!<\/p>\n
i haven\u2019t been reading the paper so much lately, and so i only sort of have any idea of what\u2019s going on in the world (DON\u2019T GO TO FRANCE RIGHT NOW!), but today there was something completely alarming in the paper. it was a bunch of statistics about babies, and what their (TOTALLY STUPID!!???) parents are feeding them. <\/p>\n
here\u2019s just a smattering of these horrific stats:<\/p>\n
soda is served to babies as young as seven months old.<\/p>\n
DON\u2019T SERVE BABIES SODA.<\/p>\n
if you happen to be a waitress in a restaurant and a seven month-old saunters in and asks for a diet coke, JUST SAY NO.<\/p>\n
25% of 19-24 month olds are not eating ANY servings of fruit or vegetables a day!!!!!<\/p>\n
GIVE YOUR TODDLER (is that what they are, the 19-24 month year olds? i think so) VEGETABLES AND FRUITS! DON\u2019T BE A COMPLETE MORON!<\/p>\n
jerri, i know you don\u2019t like vegetables, and i know little lucy has a few months to go before you need to go out and buy actual fruits and vegetables, but please, PLEASE, buy them for her! i\u2019m sure you will. you\u2019re a fabulous mother, clearly. fabulous.<\/p>\n
and here\u2019s one more horrific one:<\/p>\n
FRENCH FRIES ARE THE MOST COMMONLY CONSUMED VEGETABLE FOR TODDLERS FROM 15-24 MONTHS OLD!!!!<\/p>\n
DON\u2019T FEED YOUR TODDLER FRENCH FRIES!<\/p>\n
i, personally, have no children. it\u2019s highly unlikely that i\u2019m ever going to have any children.<\/p>\n
IF I HAD A BABY I WOULD NOT GIVE IT FRENCH FRIES AND A COKE AND THINK THAT\u2019S A BALANCED MEAL.<\/p>\n
ok, you know what i really think? i think that people should have to take a test in order to be parents. i really think they should have to take a whole series of tests, psychology tests, BASIC COMMON SENSE TESTS, tests with questions like “do you think it\u2019d be a good idea to give your baby french fries and cokes?” <\/p>\n
and then if the people don\u2019t pass the tests, THEY\u2019RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE BABIES.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m sure this is very anti-something or other. not politically correct, but I DON\u2019T SEE WHY NOT. I mean, really, REALLY, PEOPLE, DON\u2019T BE SO STUPID.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m not talking to you, personally.<\/p>\n
unless you\u2019re sitting here reading this, stuffing a quarter pounder with cheese into your very small child\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n
the article didn\u2019t actually mention quarter pounders with cheese, it was mostly about fries, but i\u2019m sure that the quarter pounders with cheese were not far behind.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m really hungry now.<\/p>\n
soon we will have toddlers going to weight watchers. it would certainly liven up the meetings, wouldn\u2019t it? how will they explain to the toddler about the point system, or whatever current thing that weight watchers is doing now? <\/p>\n
i hope you survived monday. my own particular monday got better as the day progressed, except for class where i couldn\u2019t stop blowing my nose, and i blow my nose really really LOUD but i didn\u2019t even care. i\u2019m sure i spread my germs to everybody in class. i\u2019m sorry about that if i did. really sorry. erica is the only one in class who has any idea about this website anyway, and i told her i was going to give her my cold, because we had to share a play that we were reading out loud, and she said “i\u2019m tough.” <\/p>\n
that\u2019s kind of like me saying that i\u2019m going to WILL MY COLD NOT TO PROGRESS ANY FURTHER.<\/p>\n
but really, seriously, i think it can be done.<\/p>\n
the power of positive thinking.<\/p>\n
christine just sent me a text message, and all it said was “snow.” but that\u2019s to be expected in denver. but today on the radio all of a sudden they mentioned SNOW and SLEET, but none of that happened, and it felt kind of warm outside, actually.<\/p>\n
i think i\u2019m starting to hallucinate now, so i\u2019d better go to sleep.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
