The One Where I Embarrass Two out of Three of my Children

Published on 2nd Apr 2012 by Renata | 9 Responses
Beautiful nails boys...

I thought that perhaps my days of being able to surreptitiously gather ammunition for free and guiltless use against my children when they morph into grunting, fridge-clearing Neanderthals  teenagers were all but over. Certainly my oldest (who is 9, but shows signs of precocious development of the evil genius trait earlier than I had originally prepared for) has started to realise what I'm up to, and so photo opportunities are now few and far between. However, it turns out if you leave three children in a room together, one of whom has a giant makeup case and two very irritating brothers, these rare moments still occur. I would therefore like to formally thank whoever came up with the idea of putting a camera into a phone for allowing me the opportunity to share such moments with current and future friends. I also commend my daughter for continuing to perfect the art of subtle yet creative revenge against her antagonists.

       Yeah, she went for the multicoloured look. I approve wholeheartedly of her decision.

    Hahaha!  This is classic.  We did that to my brother when we were young, too.  If only we had camera phones back then.  However, we were out of nail varnish remover and he had to go to church with it on the next day.

NOMINATE ME BiB 2013 VIDEO

I was surprised, and delighted to be chosen as a finalist in the Britmum's Brilliance in Blogging awards in the VIDEOS category. I know that the videos that tell a story have been very popular and are perhaps a little different from most of the things you'll see on the internet. If you want to see a couple, have a look at a story I told for Feeding Tube Awareness Week or one to celebrate a very special milestone. Winners are announced in June
