A break

I feel my posts are becoming a sort of incomplete, non sensical rants. Let me take a break and change my track. Today I will talk about rearing children. Some observations.

1) Don't promise anything to children.
2) If rule 1 is violated, deliver on promises, and there can be no violation of this pinciple.
3)You prefer educational toys, kids prefer entertainment.
4)Kids don't discriminate between X priced toy and 10X priced toy. Now you know what to buy.
5)Show them the world, preferably one which doesn't tempt them towards toys.
6) A cartoon is a cartoon, there is nothing like good or bad cartoon.
7)The first things you do when you buy a DVD/VCD/Software is to make copy of that, even if you have bought pirated stuff in the first place. Because, for them optical disks at times fall into category of "roughly - handled" toys.
8)A brother is a brother till he doesn't encroach into your domain of "TV time, Parents attention and inventory of toys".
9)It is never too young to lie.
10)Fight fire with fire. And expect more fire.
11)Pour water over fire, nothing is guaranteed.
12) {Lion King, Finding Nemo, Tom and Jerry, Popeye, Bob the Builder..} Holy stuff. Period.

More when I realise more. :)
