Your thoughts. Ever had a similar situation/proposition? Come on ... it's Friday .... entertain me. No, this question has not come about due to my conversation with PLUG this morning.

The Scarecrow got a brain, Tin Man got a heart, Lion got courage, Dorothy got home, what did Toto get?

Ok, most of you that know me know that I am not a fluffy, lovey dovey type person but I just got this email and thought I would share and we could all have a group hug ( or a group grope maybe? )

Children can answer better than most adults when it comes to love.
The question was "What is love"?

The answers they gave were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy- age 7

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikka's on this planet)

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
Cindy - age 8

"My mommy loves me more than anybody
You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night."
Clare - age 6

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."
Elaine-age 5

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
Chris - age 7

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
Mary Ann - age 4

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones."
Lauren - age 4

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."
Mark - age 6

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8

Well. Its only 8.21am and I have just had the most 'interesting' discussion with my boss who we shall for the sake of this post refer to as P.L.U.G. ( Pompous Lazy Uneducated Git ).

I am going to admit that when I converse with him I do like to play devils advocate and ask him things that I suspect might get him all puffy chested. However, I also do it to try and make him step even one toe outside of his little box he lives in.

So, here's the conversation:

PLUG: Hey A, how are you this morning?
Me: Doing good ... a little tired but hey it's Friday.
PLUG: Why are you tired ... late night?
Me: Yeah I got caught up in a documentary.
PLUG: About what?
Me: Swinging
PLUG: Swings?
Me: Yes, it was interesting.
PLUG: But didn't you have your tree cut down? Where will you put a swing?
Me: Oh, not that kind of swing. The sexual kind of swinging.
PLUG: * blank look *
Me: I don't know the best way to describe it as I am not an expert. However I guess I can sum it up to say it's when couples that are attracted to each other get intimate with each other.
PLUG: * look of disgust *
Me: (putting Devil hat on) Oh you think thats bad huh?
PLUG: It's wrong and dirty.
Me: Really? What about threesomes instead then?
PLUG: * look of horror * THREE couples having sex???
Me: Nooooo .... where you have either 2 men and 1 woman or 2 women and one man all enjoying each other.
PLUG: Thats just wrong
Me: You've never thought about having another woman join you and your wife?
PLUG: My wife!!!! Oh noooo she would kill me.
Me: Ahhh so you would if she was ok with it.
PLUG: * splutter * Never!!!!! Thats as bad as lesbians.
Me: Oh really ( still wearing little devil hat ) what about bi-sexuals?
PLUG: Bi what?
Me: Someone who is attracted to members of boths sexes.
PLUG: Why would they do that? Its not normal. You can't have children with the same sex. ( at which point he turns to walk away )
Me: Oh but I love it .. doubles my chances of getting a date!
PLUG: * stops in midstride ... and then all but runs to his office *

PLUG has now spent the last 30 minutes sneaking looks at me when he thinks I can't see him. I am sure he is praying for my damned to hell soul !!!
