Consequences

Appropriate consequences when raising children, often takes some creativity. Granted my three are all almost taller than I, which is quite a fete in itself.

When at Disneyland, if mis-behavior occurs, the punishment, oh whoops, consequence is going on "It's a Small World" with me, with me singing of course.

Now, that I'm dating an Englishman, I myself am learning all sorts of things. Did you know that you can take the European out of Europe, but you can't take the Speedo out of the European? He does own and use normal swim trunks, but that doesn't mean he doesn't own that Speedo! (It is blue)

So, now when the teens act up, the consequence is that he'll actually wear the Speedo swimming with them. All to a chorus of them crying, "Nooooooo, we'll be good!"

The lily pad has landed

Okay, so I'm still seeing the Gallant Prince. He still opens my door for me and if I ask him to do something he says, "I'd be happy to".

Not to worry, he teases me as well, and has been trying to get me to say "Worcestershire" correctly (who knew steak sauce could be so difficult to pronounce!?) remember he is British.

Last weekend I survived meeting the 'triumvirate'! The 3 other women... his old business associate and dear friend, his ex-wife and his daughter! Yes, all in one weekend, and I am still standing! This midlife dating is a lot of work!

However, as much as that may have been an ordeal, this weekend we are winging our way to San Diego for my family reunion. Whoa Nelly!

Does this man have fortitude or what! He thinks it will be fun! Ah, that British humor! He will meet my 2 brothers, 2 sisters, assorted nephews, cousins and in-laws all in one house! It boggles my mind, and I know them. Oh, yeah maybe that's why it is boggling me....
