YES! SEE, as far as the Accidental Porn... I'm not the only one with a gutter-brain! DH and I both thought it looked like a man groping a woman from behind. And, we're not the only ones. YAY. LOL.
Thank you, everyone for the Anniversary thoughts. We had a nice evening and I love getting dressed up... I'm such a girly girl.
*************************************************************************************
So, I have a question for the parents out there. Does your child just do things that are ODD and you're not sure where they got the quirk from?
Each of my children has a little quirk that can either make me smile or make me grit my teeth... just depends on the day.
9 makes a noise, completely subconsciously, when he's playing. It's sort of a cross between a war explosion and a sort of grunt. I don't know how else to describe it. I know this is part of his disorder, and it's one of the milder issues, but when the day is long and that's all I've heard all day it's all I can do not to scream when he runs through the living room making the noise.
6 has to wash his hands at least twice during a meal. He can't stand to have dirty, sticky hands. He usually goes through at least two napkins or paper towels when he eats. I love that I don't usually have to worry about HIS fingerprints all over the walls and furniture. I hate that he is popping up and down from the dinner table all through dinner.
0 doesn't have any quirks yet... but I'm sure there will be at least one in the future.
Now, 3... he has to line things up. His Hot Wheels... he lines them up by size, color and model. His animal figures... by size and breed. He gets very upset if one of his older brothers comes along and disrupts his pattern. The other morning I came into the kitchen to find this (ignore my messy table, the boys all got up long before I did that day and they aren't very good at cleaning up after themselves... I'm working on that):

Those are Frosted Mini-Wheats! You can see his concentration as he works... Then, the poor thing had a complete "come-apart" when 9 trotted into the kitchen and started to munch on the squares... er rectangles on the end.
Now, I know we all have our quirks. Don't even try to deny it! I don't like the food on my plate to touch. I can mix it up if I want, but if it comes to me already touching I have a very hard time eating it. DH eats his food in a circle... he starts on one food and eats it until it's gone, then he rotates his plate to the next food on the plate. What quirks do your children have that make you tilt your head and mutter, "HUH" ? What quirks do YOU have that you hope you didn't/don't pass on to future generations?

The last Kiddie Quote was pretty self-explanatory.
This time, it's:
"If our noses were on our butts... there would be a lot less nose-piercings!"
Yup... I'll explain that next time. :-)

Ah the joys of children, ain't it grand. My DD has the oh so lovely quirk of yelling at her toys. She is being a mommy, so what does that say about me? She also turns every situation into a song. We went to the park, she sings, we went for a drive, new song and on and on it goes. My DS has to have his blanket, his little one for sleeping, just so when he goes to bed. It must, must, must be laid out over him, including covering toes, and it must be traight, no wrinkles allowed. It it isn' he will cry for sometime, until I come fix it.
OMG, ROFL at the Mini-Wheats.
When 13 was younger, he lined up EVERYTHING. I'd leave the room for a few minutes, come back and there'd be a hundred Hot Wheels lined up through the house, bumper to bumper.
9 was the same way. In fact, he still likes to line things up.
The noise making? Well, 13 still does that, but it's not part of any disorder...he's just 13 and hears a lot of music in his head and it just has to come out somewhere, I guess.
LOL on the kid quote.
I do NOT like my routine interrupted... It really stresses me out.
My DD has made imaginary friends out of her hands... she'll smoosh her fingers onto her thumb so they can talk. One is "Hand" and the other is "Brother"... and if they get out of control, the only way I can make them behave is to make my own hand, "Mom" and give them a talking to.
:-)
