Thalia's Facts of Life
Working in childcare means that half the adults you meet seem to be expecting (dads don't tend to come to drop off or pick up - unless expentant Mum is labouring or is recently become unexpecting).
The kids are all always excited about their new babies. Which is really sweet. But then their friends get excited and declare that they too are having a new baby soon.
Whether they are or not.
But you can never tell. We've had mums get to 7 months before they were really showing.
Anyways, when I came into the room, Thalia ran up to me. "My Mummy's having a baby!" she told me excitedly.
"That's great!" I said.
"Yeah! She went into the toilet, and now she's having a baby!"

Sam Gets Asked for ID
I don't drink much. I occasionally buy a small bottle of Pink, and have that while I read a dodgy romance novel (they're terrible sober, but delicious when slightly intoxicated).
I borrowed a novel from the library, and went to buy a bottle of champers from Woolworths.
I got asked for ID.
I offered my working with children's check. "You only need it if you're over 18. Otherwise, you ARE a child," I explained.
It was not accepted.
So on Monday, I went to Coles. Same thing. I was getting annoyed. I mean, sure, there are few things more obnoxious than intoxicated teenages, but I'm 27, getting only 250mL of alcohol, and drinking at home.
I guess that even though my eggs may be screaming out that they are fast reaching their use-by date, my face is still going strong.
So I went home, and got out the one type of ID I have. My passport. And went to Dan Murphy's, which meant I didn't need to cross the road, like I would have for Coles.
The guy serving looked about 14. He didn't ask me for ID.
Guess he understands my pain.

I alway knew I'd have Asian children...
but I kinda assumed they would be girls.
Instead, I've got 2 sons.
Isaac (at work) calls me Mumma, and cries when I leave the room. He also spends half his time running up to me and the other half running away from me. That said, he is 18 months
But my other Asian son is from church. And he is a little older than 18 months.
Vincent is my oldest child, but definitely not the most mature. In fact, he spent most of my first ever care group lesson trying to distract me and cracking jokes. And calling me Mummy.
But he made up for it. The lesson was on how Proverbs 31 is relevant for the whole church. And one of the verses we talked about was, "Her children rise up and call her blessed."
At which he stood up, and then katowed to me, shouted out "Blessed!"
Now to expand my family... who knows? Maybe I'll even get a girl?
