Things I learned at Bounce and Rhyme

[squintywitch]

-it is not acceptable to sing 'John Brown's Donkey's Got an India-Rubber Tail, even when a nursery rhyme has shamelessly nicked the tune to Battle Hymn of the Republic

You can't go back! You'll end getting so enraged by their need to compete with other mothers that the Jude we know and love will be lost forever! Clearly baby would rather go out with cool people and talk about how many undead they managed to kill with a foam sword! ;)

[squintywitch]

Well, that too. We're already looking into child friendly larp systems!

Outcast is probably the best for kids, they're family oriented rather than family friendly so children are encouraged rather than just tolerated.
We went last year with an infant heavy group and everyone had a great time, the plot actually depended on children as well as adults to solve it.

And yes, playgroups can be mind-numbing can't they?

No, I was attended by non-euclidian horrors from beyond the stars, thoroughly unnatural. And you?

PMSL! I mentioned at this babyshower that the wriggly feeling is much like "watching a bucket of eels" - apparently not a cutesy enough description - but at least I didn't go ON and ON about tentacled horrors from the elder times!

[blackcurrants]

Which, when you consider the wriggling - it totally could be. TENTACLED HORRORS!

I wonder if that'll fit in a babygro...

[casparrrrgh]

If not I feel there would be plenty of enthusiastic volunteers to design a custom job! ;)

You do realise that all this is merely reinforcing my conviction that I have all the paternal instinct of a rock, don't you? A rock that doesn't even like pebbles. I realised that even the living space around me becomes suffused with the same offspringophobic malevolence this afternoon, when Kaz was around examining my sculpting and my chair attempted to kill Eleanor all by itself.

"I'm sure I've seen little Chthulhu grosuits somewhere..."
I'm still convinced that a Nurgling romper suit is a genius idea that should be realised by...someone...

Oh, good God, that song about the donkey is now stuck in my head and threatens to be so for all time. xxx
