Let's see suffocate became snuffticate. Hospital was hostibal. And instead of going blind my daughter went blank ( we still say blank ).

My youngest daughter said flo instead of floor. bode instead of Bored and her teacher was mrs. cloak instead of clark. One day I was trying to teach her to say car instead of coe. I kept saying carrrr carrr carrr she finely got fed up and said TRUCK! and walked away.

"do a little dance, make a little love, get kryptonite, get kryptonite."

ROFL

I needed that.  *Wipes eyes*

One of the kids is a vegitarian, another keeps kosher.  It makes things interesting.

Oy, Vey!  Make sure that your spinach dip has been ritually slaughtered properly with its neck toward Jerusalem, then.

Quarter Bavarian Jew myself (the Bessendorfer line that fled here to the States in the 1900s are the only branch that made it through the ravage of WW2),

Thank God she's not Orthodox, or she wouldn't be able to eat prepared food at my house at all.  I have some pots and pans that have never been used for anything on the forbidden list, and I use paper plates.  I'm kinda used to this, but it does take some planning.

The vegetarian will eat fish, so I usually go with something like that, or make her cheese enchiladas and refried beans.

Hmmm.  Pescatarians are much easier to cook for than vegetarians.  Kosher ones miss out on all that yummy Dungeoness Crab.

Hawthorn's birthday fell during Passover last year, and she had a sleepover.  We ate a lot of matzoh, and I just stuck with the whole kosher thing.  Except for the vegetarian.  We got some boca burgers and I made assorted dips.

Not every LLL group is great. Mine was no help at all, and I have heard as many negative stories as positive  ones. I think it depends a lot on the leadership, both individually and locally. Fortunately, a lot of pediatricians and OBs have lactation consultants on staff these days, so women have more than one place to go for help now. For many years, LLL was it, so if it was too crunchy for your tastes, or the leader didn't return phone calls or whatever, there wasn't anyone else to turn to.

We were at a wedding this weekend, and my youngest son decided that he was going to find himself a godmother. Every bridesmaid that walked by was selected, until the next one came by, at which point he would change his mind. The bride, his new auntie, had the prettiest dress, so he  eventually settled on her. It might have helped if they all hadn't been fluttering around him, cooing at his cuteness, petting him and slipping him candy. *sigh*

This same child told his brother, as we were on the way to our favorite ice cream place, "If you tell the girls at the counter that they're pretty, they'll put extra sprinkles and cherries on your ice cream."
