Back in the old days ( mid 50's - 60's ) if my gran saw any couple kissing in the street, she would say ' Makes you spew up What you've never eten ' ( eten as in eaten ).

 

When I was a kid and she saw me climbing high walls, she would shout out at me:

 

' If you fall and break your leg, don't come running to me '

Believes in letting kids run wild, doing exactly what they want, not disciplining them. Leading the way for the me, me, me generation....see what he says in the thread on children in cafes and resaturants!

 

Oh alice , You sound bitter about kids, Just a guess ... Your kids could not get out the house fast enough! >>> Right?
