Brings to mind that childhood nursery rhyme; there was an old woman who lived in a shoe. It ends with, 'she whipped them all soundly and put them to bed' lol. Don't know why it should remind me of something I haven't thought of in 15 years, since my little one was a little one! (smile)

this is almost funny but the title tells me it shouldn't be.... which goes to show how thin the line between comedy and tragedy.....wish I wrote it.....! :)
