Conquer Club

For a long time I wondered why anyone would want to raise one of these little cretins, I figured the human race must survive by accidents.

So I've been with my 7 year old cousin the past few days and I realized why. Having a little kid around gives you an excuse to do all the things you're normally not allowed to do anymore, like building block towers, playing with legos, etc.

Block towers really are amazing, you can get hours of entertainment with a few wooden blocks.

I am a 24 year old teacher...and during the summer I teach(babysit) 16-18 five to twelve year olds. I love every minute of it.

You sir (or maam) are a glutton for punishment. <grin>

And you have way more energy than I, I suspect.

Kids rock! Though there is an important point to ponder, someone elses kids are much better, I love my niece and nephew, as I can have heaps of fun with them, fill them full of sugar, wind them up by running around the beach chasing seagulls, build cubby houses, etc. Then I can hand them back to my sister

Kids are so non-judgmental, it's awesome.

Having been dealing with teenagers at the high school level for some time, I find this statement utterly hilarious.

Well, I mean grade school kids. Loss of innocence comes around 5th grade or so.

Still utterly hilarious. Are you serious that they're non-judgemental? What kids are you hanging about?

Don't forget watching Veggie Tales and the Disney Channel.

Well done Pedro ;o)

Anti-kid people are funny....I love asking them how their parents felt aboot children.....dolts. lol

My kids are the light of my life, and give me ONE truly meaningful goal in life......to raise 2 people that have real shots at long, healthy, happy lives

Wait till you have Grandchildren. Then it gets really interesting as you can team up with them against the common foe, their parents.

Self-defense. If they weren't they'd get eaten immediately.

Actually, I liked legos so much I more or less started a business that let me do just about that everyday, but on a different scale.

I still read that comic...

Given that Armageddon is fast approaching it is important to remember that children are a cheap , convenient and nutricious food source....anybody seen comic

not a good food source

but id LOVE to play outside

and play basketball(u see its the most popoular sport in the philippines)


and thats were i live

and we often play "Tamang Bata" in school

we use a ball

one team throws the ball trying to hit the other team

when all the players are hit on 1 team, they will be the one to throw the ball

try it, its lots of fun

im a expert at dodging
