Not so much "oh my god I hope nothing like that happens to my son" as "oh my god I hope I can cope when stuff like this happens to my son". Reading level-headed posts like this, that show that it's not the end of the world when these things come along, make me realise that maybe I'll cope when the first curve-ball comes along for Tom. :) Tue, 8 Jun 2010 18:38:35 +0000 http%3a%2f%2ftobeadad.co.uk%2f%3fp%3d1618#IDComment79158558 http://stickyfingers1.blogspot.com/2010/05/6-things-you-need-to-know-about-raising_15.html#IDComment75667977 Ah! "Bone in my winky" was the expression too in our household when I was little for those impromptu early test-firings of the mechanism. Usually brought on by terribly exciting things happening, like getting a new toy or something. Was beginning to wonder if it wasn't a widely-used expression, my wife had never heard it, despite having a younger brother. I think it might come into currency again when Tom's a bit older, though!

Does it have any "stealth cleaning" properties or is it purely for show? Fri, 14 May 2010 22:34:59 +0000 http://stickyfingers1.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-kind-of-superhero.html#IDComment75475507
