things mum would never say to her kids & a ritual of Spring Cleaning
A mother is the first teacher of any child. But the role of mother is much wider than just a teacher. She is the one who makes it possible for a child to differentiate between good and bad. And she plays her role so naturally that a child does not need to attend any formal classroom lessons for this purpose. He learns all his lessons during the process of his upbringing. However any mum in the world never says the following things to her child…
* You should let your hair grow…I would love to make your ponytail!
* Why don't you miss your school today…there is a match on TV!
* How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back!
* Yeah, I feel proud to admit that I too used to skip school a lot!
* You should just leave all the lights on...it makes the house look more cheery!
* I have checked your shirt by smelling it…you can wear it. It is good for another week!
* Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I would be glad to feed and take him for a walk every day!
* Well, if Sonny’s mum says it's OK, that's good enough for me!
* I do not have a tissue with me...you just use your sleeve to wipe your running nose!
* Just do not bother wearing a jacket; honey…the wind-chill is bound to improve!
Ah, Spring is here! Hormones surge... instinct takes over.. a woman's thoughts turn to... HOUSE CLEANING! Yes, it's true! Dust is in the air. It is time to celebrate the honoured ritual of spring house cleaning. It must be a primitive nesting instinct, the urge to renew and revive. Suddenly it becomes apparent that your house resembles a college students room. Here are a few of the tell-tell signs.
1. Your front door has more fingerprints than the MI5.
2. The dust mites are having an anniversary party under your bed.
3. You are wearing clothes from the floor of the wardrobe - inside out
4. Your family is eating off paper plates so you don't have to open the cabinets.
5. You need a gas mask when you open the refrigerator.
6. The kids can't find their toys -- in fact they can't find the toy box.
7. You can't find the cordless phone unless it rings.
8. You can't turn on the ceiling fan without creating a dust storm.
9. Your chore for the day is to find the vacuum cleaner bags -- and the vacuum cleaner.
10. The remote control has been lost in a sofa crack since the end of football season.
11. The kitty litter is a concrete block.
12. The cat has been missing for three days.
13. There is something solid and black in the bottom of the coffeepot.
14. You can't decide whether to clean the windows or just buy mini blinds.
15. The dog has offered to lend you his kennel.
16. The mail hasn't been opened since last tax season.
17. The piles of magazines may fall over and bury you.
18. You are afraid to turn on the oven because bugs may be raising a family in there.
19. You wonder if a hose down would ruin the carpets.
20. There is something sprouting in the dishwasher.
21. The washing machine reminds you of a concrete mixer.
22. You introduce your kids as the three little pigs.
23. You can't go outside because fresh air makes you dizzy.
24. It seems easier to move than to clean the house.
If any of these seem slightly familiar, you too may have spring cleaning fever. The male of the species is seldom affected. Like PMS, spring cleaning fever is exclusive to the female. Fortunately, the cure is rather simple. Apply soap and water, disinfectant, furniture polish, scouring powder, grease solvent, and plenty of elbow grease and your fever will be cured in a matter of hours, with results lasting at least till the family gets home.
IN MY NEXT LIFE....
I'm Gonna be a Bear.
In this life I'm a woman. In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.
When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you are sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup, I'm gonna be a bear!

Lesson 1:
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.'
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few
seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her
husband asks, 'Who was that?'
'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies. 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything
about the $800 he owes
me?'
Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time,
you may be in a position to prevent avoidable
exposure.

A blond gets on a plane and goes up to first-class. The flight attendant tells her that she will have to move back her ticket is not for first class. The blond says, "I'm blond, I'm beautiful, and I'm going to California." The main flight attendant is brought in and explains that she will have to move. The blond says, "I'm blond, I'm beautiful, and I'm going to California."
The attendants tell the pilot. He comes in and looks the situation over. He leans over and whispers something to the blond and she gets up immediately and moves out of first class. The attendants are flabbergasted, "What did you say to her?" "I just told her that this section of the plane doesn't go to California."
