Solly as a Rock!!

I am surrounded by mom’s-to-be (3) and brand-new moms (4). It’s just the age, I guess: we’re all in our late twenties, some in their early thirties. Personally, I don’t mind , as long as they don’t jab about their pregnancy / baby all the time. Most of them know – and respect – my ‘no-kid-of-my-own’ point of view.

However, sometimes, one of my friends dares to address The Subject – 9 out of 10 it will be a guy, by the way. “Why no kids?”, they ask, “You are great with them! You are a cool aunt, a sweet sugar(free) aunty, you baby sit one day a week. Why no kids? You would be a great mom!”

*Sigh*

I never have to defend why I don’t like tennis or haven’t taken up curling as a sport. But as a girl in my late twenties, I have to defend the fact I don’t want kids. Ever. I like kids, I know how to ‘handle’ them, but I like giving them back to their parents. I like my life just the way it is: just me, MyLove and the freedom to go do whatever and whenever we want to. This might sound selfcentred, but, hey, it’s MY fecking life.

Thus, for once and for all:
When I inform if the newborn is doing fine, or if the pregnancy is going according to plan… IT’S JUST INTEREST, NO TICKING BIOLOGICAL CLOCK, OKAY?!

Every morning, after my first cup of coffee, I check the trees in my apartment’s back yard (and not the ones in front). And every morning it seems to me, as if Mother Nature has hired Monet at night, to paint those bright green leafs…

Britain’s newspapers have played their annual April Fool’s jokes on their readers with a string of hoax stories.
The Sun reckons gypsies have set up camp on the Queen’s lawn at Windsor Castle using a 650-year-old law.
The Mirror reckons sheep with St George’s Cross markings on their coats are being used to trim the pitch at the new Wembley.
Meanwhile the Daily Mail has what it bills as a ‘Royal picture exclusive’ of Prince Charles and Prince Harry shopping for sexy undies. Prince Charles was said to have been torn between a white bodice and a racy scarlet one from the shop’s “la premiere d’Avril” range.( source)

Ananova also claims that a man’s ashes have been used in a firework display. “It’s like life – short but sparkling.” (…)

Anyway, here’s the top 100 of April fool’s day hoaxes of all time!
Have you read an original joke in the newspaper today, seen one on TV or are you a prankster yourself? Tell me in the comment-thingy!

By the way, your shoe lace is untied…. ;-D
