I don't remember if one of mine ever put someone elses gum in their mouth though. Gak. 8,000 on a watch and then leave it in her bag and someone steals it? Really? Sounds fishy to me. Hello.....it was 8 grand. If she was dumb enough to leave it there alone she needed to have it stolen. Sheesh. I remember the “under the table” amusements all too well.

That's crazy! Well for me that is. Good thing there's that protect plan. I have to check if there's something similar like that here. Kids got a world of their own! Minsan naman papansin lang yung mga yan An 8000 dollar watch! That’s crazy! Well for me that is. Good thing there’s that protect plan. I have to check if there’s something similar like that here.

I do it too BUT only after the kids having been making noise for quite some time that the '2nd look' for the parents means "why aren't you doing anything about them?" hahahaha i know what you mean about the kids in chuch.

As for that watch. 8,230.00 for a watch seems unbelievable to me. my upper limit might be 82.30. And, usually i do just fine with a 19.99 timex. i mean they work. I look at them and they tell me what time it is. What more could one ask of a watch? but, for 8,230.00, that thing better do more than tell me what of day it is. It needs to do some kind of performance, just for me, all day long every day. About the kids and the looks we get at Church, I have to laugh at that. It makes me thimnk of my childless brother and sil. When they visit, and we all go out to dinner, they always ask if we can go to restaurants that dont allow children (almost, as though kids are pets), because it just gets on their nerves so much to listen to them while trying to eat...HA! I have been with my brother in a restaurant, when someone child was acting up and he will call over the waiter and insist on being moved to another table. it mortifies me but what can you do?

I elbow my wife and she smiles too. Because we used to be you. And we remember. Feel better now?

All of this is too funny and I can totally relate. I hate it when the kid in the class before you puts his sticky gum under the desk and it definately isn't hardened by the time you sit down and ruin one of your 3 pairs of school pants... I'm not still bitter...I promise. We had a lady come to the pool with her huge diamond necklace on and when she looked down to admire it, the diamond was gone. Not much we can do in a swimming pool... We told the Scuba divers to look for it when they came for lessons. haha. All of this is too funny and I can totally relate.

Then he would have to clean it up! He threatened automatic failure to anyone he caught chewing gum and sticking it under their desk!

I mean, my $20 K Mart watch tells the time just as well and whilst it may not look as flash, i don't ever have to worry about anyone stealing it whilst I pee... unless we are talking about the people I live with and then all bets are off, NOTHING is sacred to these people.... And if you do decide to buy a watch that expensive,why keep it in your bag??? Duh!!! And why tell people you paid that much for it.... DO you really want them to know that you are mentally deficient??? These are people you have to look in the eye every day.... I sure as hell don't want them to know I was A: dumb enough to spend more than a months pay on a watch and B: dumb enough to get it stolen whilst traveling in a sealed steel tube thousands of feet above the earth... Wow... this chick makes nurses look REALLY REALLY intelligent...(NOT)... and well paid.... I think I need to come nurse at your hospital so I can afford a European trip and a good watch coz I am never going to afford it working here... Hell, I can hardly pay the utilities bills... I need a change of life... to that chick... Uh, on second thoughts, I think I'll keep my current level of intelligence thanks!!! Love the randomness... keep it up... And the chewing gum thing... its like buried treasure waiting to be discovered... the way to stop them from chewing the pre-loved treasures is to crawl under the table with them and head them off at the pass.... before they put it in their precious wee mouths.... SO other diners will look at you.... they're doing that at church anyway and your not doing anything crazy... and in the eyes of your kids you'll become a legend and remembered until they are old and grey... "Remember that day Mum crawled under the table at the restaurant and everyone looked at her and she didn't care..." Legend I tell you.... Branch out, discover the child within... Its kinda liberating... Just ask my kids.... Why, oh why would anyone EVER pay that much for a watch….
