little kid logic

i love ian he is so cute. he wants to be a pro footballer but my sister made him promise to go to uni. she said that if she say him serving in mcD when she's rich and famous she will personally drag him to uni and make him study. but he said he WANTS to go to uni so he can go to those big parties like in scary movie 3 and find a girlfriend that he can then marry. If he works in mcD he won't meet anyone and then who will he marry? a burger?
then i also mentioned that all of my friends STILL haven't given me anything for my bday and he was silent for a while, then asked me if i liked bouncy balls. when i asked why he said, "well since your friends didn't get you anything i'll get you something, so you'll feel better. and if they end up gettng you something i'll still give you something so u get extra." isn't that cute?

ways to please

i have just discovered the essentials in pleasing my mother:

• appear to have completed a lot of work (i.e. leave a ticked and false to-do list on the table)
• pratice the piano
• compliment on her cooking
• patiently listen to her half an hour of 'words of wisdom'
• AND agree with whatever she's saying by nodding your head several times as she speaks

hmm... i wonder what can be done from this
