Hobson's Choice ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timmy's parenting column Timmy has gone to live with his adoptive family. In honor of his life transition, I'm devoting an entry to a list of parenting advice given to me by this 6 year old. If only I had kept a list over the 10 months he lived with Rita and Jerry, this found poem could be hundreds of lines long. -- Jenny, they make a better car seat than this. It has a cup-holder. -- Jenny, Chris does not park here (at the farmer's market). -- Jenny, this is not the way Chris does it (during virtually any activity undertaken by Timmy, Eleanor, and me). -- Jenny, there will come a time when Eleanor shouldn't take a bath with a boy. -- Jenny, I hope that when she turns two, you're going to get some better plug covers. -- Jenny, them pants are too big. -- Jenny, pull up them pants. 7:36 p.m. - 2004-04-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
