the birthday month

this is star aniseed. it has a slight licorice taste and is used in chinese dishes, it is also a key ingredeint for the bird flu vacine (if anyone is interested lol)
aslo, add it the the chicken soup and it gives the flavour a kick!

''Special'' Apple Juice

All children know (and secretly adults know aswell) that Doctors drink pee.

yes..they drink it, and are completly and unrefingly addicted to the stuff. To Doctors fresh pee is like sweet yummy golden apple juice, and it is a well know fact that they just can't get enough of it.

This is why they are always asking for pee samples, and why they want a whole pot of it.
Doctors are clever in getting this juice, as they have made different size bottles, and even some with a presevitve to keep the pee nice and fresh.

As soon as you go in they already have a pot waiting for you on their desk, with your name on it.

On pourpose they make you wait (in a waiting room) a very long time so by the time you go in, you will be ready to pee.

Everyone in the Doctors sugery, is in on it.

It is also known that pregnant people tend to pee more frequently, and as soon as the Doctors hear of a pregnant person is there, they double the waiting time and start rumaging in drawers for as many pots as they can find. They will then give all these pots to you and make a zillion appointments for you, to fool you into thinking they are just giving you good pregnancy care, but no, they just getting ready to stock up for the winter.

Sadly there is no way we can escape them from taking our pee, and childrens, childrens pee. Unless we evolve to not be ill anymore. Which would be great, as I hate to wait in the waiting room.

Grown-Ups

It is often assumed that adults are boring.

(When I say adults, I am also including: Married People, Parents, and Men in that work consuming age gap of 25+.)

The reason behind this, is that its true.

Now Adults don't mean to be boring.. it just happens. This is because everything they do is boring, wither at work or at home being a mother, their lives circulate endlessly around this chore, and when they do stop for a breath, they tend to feel the need to Talk About It.

Talking About It, is the boring bit.

If you happen to be a listener, my tip for you, is nodding and smiling. (but don't over do it)
If you are the person who is talking, and you realise you are being boring, try the Open University (they have lots of interesting courses, even if you are not very educated) or you could always try a Religion, just be careful which you sign up too.

coppers and little robbers

children are very clever. more clever than adults.

I'm sure you have heard this saying "We were all children once"
what they really mean to say is that we were all clever once.
one thing they are extremly good at, is getting what they want with very little work involved in their part.
for example, sweets.
sweets mean nothing much to us now, but to children that magic word can freeze mind and body, it can turn you in to a slave or a master depending on how much you have of it.
now, children know that this most wonderous thing can be obtained by 2 ways.

the first is Grandparents, and the second is Money.

Money is wonderful concept for children, the idea of buying whatever you want, whenever you want it. And its a known fact that Grandparents and Parents are just swimming in money, piles and piles of it, where they get it children do not know, they don't really care, aslong as they can get it.

Now, if you have a child don't panic. If you are wise they can be fooled. First thing, don't teach them about money at a young age, second thing never give them any Notes. (paper money)

The other thing you should know is that to a child. Coppers (1p and 2p) are alot of money. This is gold to them, and why? cus of Penny Sweets.

I remember when I was little I was given some shiny coppers from my mum, which she didn't want. (I asumed she was so rich in Money, thats why she was giving it to me, for free) They were like gold to me, I would count them, clean them and carry them around, not showing them to anyone.

So using this knowledge, I first showed my siblings the Penny Sweets, then I showed them how you can obtain them (with Money) , and finaly showed them that if they some chores for me (like getting me a drink), they would get a handful of coppers..
