I recently read a toungue in the cheek email about the job description of parenthood. And I can confidently confirm that nobody would have them if they had to respond on this job description! Does this sound familiar? Must be willing to work long hours, be called on several times during the night, no recognition, no pay, etc. etc.! Sounds about right hey?!

But as much as they drive us up the wall (with those rolling eyes and wiser than thou-comments), we love them to bits! I wish I can remember all the words or phrases that they use whilst growing up! When my 3 year old can’t remember he only says half the word: “kan nie hou nie” Which should be “onthou nie!” Makes me think  that he has a “wee”!

My favourite is my eldest daughter who very wisely explained death like this when she was younger … “‘n Mens se vel (body) bly op die aarde en jou senings (soul!) gaan op hemel toe!!” It still cracks me up!

What funnies have you had from your kids? Any other single moms out there facing my challenges as well?

Be blessed!
