Rock-a-bye-baby

I went to a baby shower Saturday. There was the usual oohing & aahing over tiny little pink socks and expressions of "Oh, you're gonna need that!" from the experienced attendees. There were a few "Well, what will they think of next! I wish they'd made those when I had kids." and one woman announced wistfully that she was ready to have another baby.

The mother-to-be was glowing and had more fun than the rest of us put together, which is the way it should be at your first baby shower.

In her honor, I'm sharing these sayings that I stumbled over last night at http://www.indianchild.com/.

1. Children will soon forget your presents. They will always remember your presence.
2. You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool Mom.
3. The best inheritance parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day.

She should read these while she's still in a condition to believe they're more funny than true.

1. Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.
2. I love to give homemade gifts. Which one of my kids do you want?
3. Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the drive before it has stopped snowing.
4. A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school clothes.
5. Anyone who says "Easy as taking candy from a baby" has never tried it.
6. Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.
