We’ve got an Au Pair arriving at the start of September.
Discussed picking her up from the airport and whether to take the kids or not as it’s late on a Friday.
Asked the kids if they wanted to meet her at the airport and of course they did.
So started talking about them making her a welcome sign.
Do you want to make her a ‘Welcome to Australia’ sign - I asked.
Miss 7 yo - “No - let’s make her a ‘Time for the fun to begin” sign!

On Friday night I took the family out for dinner on before the Bombers gave up their finals chances to that rabble from Sydney. As we walked past the Flower Drum I said to Zac, who is 14. That is where people go to celebrate if your horse wins the Melbourne Cup or if you are celebrating something big. Maybe we can go there if you win the Grand Final this year. His response was. “Awesome!.. is it a strip club?” I don’t know what is worse… that he thinks I celebrate by going to strip clubs or that he thinks I would take my 14 year old to one…

I did something the other day - can’t remember what but the wife says the old chestnut - Lucky Dad did what he was told.
Miss 7 yo pipes up and says - “But what if Dad didn’t do what you told him”?
Mum: “Well he’d be dead.
Miss 5 YO - “Dad’s not dead - he’s just old!’”

My best mate was getting bullied when we started high school as he was pretty small compared to all the other kids. I remember him getting his school books knocked out of his hands and kicked down the hall at the end of the day when everyone was at their lockers. The dickwad that did it had his back turned to me, so I dacked him. There he was in the middle of the hallway in front of about 200 kids with his pants around his knees and his tiny junk swinging in the breeze.
We never had any problems after that. Nothing brings down a bully like metaphorically or literally having their pants pulled down in front of everyone. I’ve told my kids to point and laugh when a bully says anything nasty to them. Also to add something like “man, you must be thick as a hammer if you think this gives you power!” and to keep laughing. Bullies only have power if you give them the reaction they want. My son is a total school band nerd anyway, so he only hangs out with other band nerds, and my daughter has a really good bunch of friends that are in a big enough group to not be targeted. I’ve also told them about not being a bystander as well.

One of my highschool friends little brother was a scrawny looking kid and early on in his highschool days got picked on by someone.
What they didn’t know was he was a state level representative in some form of martial arts. Proceeded to flog the absolute living daylights out of whoever was bullying him.
Don’t think anyone was game enough to try again.

Took Hurley to the Park after work, full of Families and kids, all the the little kids ran up to myself and Hurley 5 years and under, wanting to help throw the ball.
One kid about 5 years old said “I want a dog so bad but my Mum is allergic to hair”, then says “I hope she passes away so I can get a dog”
I was just no…no that its wrong, maybe a dog with a short hair or something WOW

the resident bully in Miss 11’s year got stabbed in the arm with a pair off scissors by another student who had had enough. i wouldn’t recommend it obviously, though the stitches do seem to have curbed the bully’s behavior.
I did pause a moment. Not good, but I suspect the bully won’t bully again.
