But we don't have cable or any network tv reception at all, which means they see no tv shows, no commercials, and above all no evening news. I know it sounds inconsistent, but it works very well for our family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-26003222961866196272007-08-10T09:27:00.000-04:002007-08-10T09:27:00.000-04:00ah, that face. such hope and joy. advise her to st...ah, that face. such hope and joy. advise her to stay away from science projects that involve tracking the growth rate of an onion. they always get trumped by the kid who makes a camera out of a shoebox. oh, you're wondering how i know.......? the memory haunts me to this day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-75667939789162105152007-08-09T18:52:00.000-04:002007-08-09T18:52:00.000-04:00We keep telling the kids we are taking them on BAR...We keep telling the kids we are taking them on BART to SF but we still haven't -- but they have been on the metro in Spain!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-29502982706442742932007-08-09T01:12:00.000-04:002007-08-09T01:12:00.000-04:00"Official Seal".

Your three year old may become the next Simon Cowell. The subway is an amazing thing. We have a little transit train in our city, and one day I took the kids from one end to the other which is where the University is located. We walked around, went to the periodicals library, and looked at newspapers from the second world war period, on microfiche. Then we took the train back to our vehicle, which was in the shop for 2 hours getting an automatic starter installed. It was a great field trip, full of new experiences, and seeing the actual papers from the time in history we were reading about. That was in January 2001.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33774292.post-40621011660254005962007-08-07T15:46:00.000-04:002007-08-07T15:46:00.000-04:00Smart kids!

I would probably let him watch Alien if he asked in such a clever way. Hmmm...

By agreeing to their offer, you will not only gain esteem in their eyes, but some willing help around the house/yard.
