It takes a village to raise a child...
 

and now we have OWJ3 and OWJ4 growing up in Fodorville!

As an accountant, I can help handling their financial needs.

Do they have lawyers already? JaGirl, are you willing to volunteer?

Kal and LoveItaly will make sure all their insurances are up-to-date.

OWJ, would you trust your girls' education to IMQ? I know you are a teacher yourself, but being a mother is difficult enough.

Mikemo, we need medical care!

Thanks Faina!

OWJ, As a teacher, I'd be honored to educate your girls on the fine art of traveling light, but knowing which shoes to pack!

-Bill

Faina & iamq, :D


Now, of great importance : Who's gonna educate them on the intricacies of tipping pilots and valet parking attendants? :?

Or how to lubricate their pink leather pants so they don't squeek...smooch!!!!
By the way, such a blessing for you OWJ.

Well, much as I'd like to help, I hope they don't need me - I'm a psychiatric nurse!
On the other hand, I'm teaching these days. Maybe I could explain a thing or two at some point. :)

I would like to provide inspirational guidance, lessons on how to be kind, and the ever important fine art of good sarcastic humor.

Welcome newest and brightest young Fodorites, Rachel & Lainey!

meesthare.

They are the children of a wandering Jew.

They will have iamq as their teacher, Faina teaching them how to manage their accounts, me and several others giving them legal advice, muffin and crefloors teaching them how to grease their pink leather pants, Kal teaching them all kinds of stuff... :-o

...and you think they won't need a psychiatric nurse? :?

Just send them my way when they're ready to sell Girl Scout cookies. I'll take several boxes of Tagalongs from each of them.

I'm in for several hundred boxes of Thin Mints.

I will teach the little girls to bake and while we are waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven, we will discuss the fine art of flirting and what to wear to the Prom ((L))

I will teach the little girls how to garden. How to get muddy and enjoy every moment of it. How to pick the prettiest weeds in the yard. :)

And just as a gardener nurtures a seed, those who love these little girls will cultivate their individual strengths and embrace them. They, just like the flower, will flourish into the uniqueness that is their own. ((f)) ((f))

I will teach the girls to knit and take them hiking. What an odd combo, lol!

Pull Uncle Kal's finger!
Every village needs and idiot! 8-}

I will teach them how to play the piano. ((8)) ((8)) ((8))

Oh, I can hear them now at their first recital -- the tap, tap, tapping of their delicate little fingers against the ivory keyboard, while OWJ & OWJ2 beam with pride at the musical talent of their daughters.

Of course, everyone will be invited. How soon should I book Carnegie Hall?

((L))

Kal, you can teach them a very important lesson: to drink red wine only as white wine is only a foreplay!

No, Kallie, you are not our ***village***idiot***

Oh, and JaGirl: thank you very much :))

I will teach the girls how to humour an old man when he asks them for the hundredth time to pull his finger!

F2,
Thx for the ***yummy*** compliment. O-)

I'm into 8 play now. 4play is only half as good.

I wonder if Fodor's will spring for some "baby Fodor pins" for OWJ3 & 4?

Obviously I've missed a thread somewhere, but congratulations, OWJ!! I'm so excited for you and OWJ2!

mms, I think teaching knitting and hiking is a wonderful idea as long as you don't try to do both at once. :-D
