Sounds that require immediate action on your part:
The scraping sound of a kitchen chair, pushed across the kitchen floor.
The rustling sound of candy, secretively being unwrapped.
A door that is closed ever so gently.
But above all, these words: 'Mom, I'm not doing anything!'
So if you'll excuse me!
The kids are playing outside all the time. They look filthy as pigs, but who cares. Right now they're shooting a movie featuring my youngest son Piet as Indiana Jones, and my middle son Ot as the villain. My mommy cup runneth over! They're using their imagination and getting lots of exercise in the great...
The kids' longing for a pet is like nits: the minute you start to relax they pop up again. Can I have a pet? So this morning I performed the classicical play: 'Kid wants a pet, but mom doesn't'. My co-star was my son Ot (10), who can be summed up by the slogan of...

I suspect they're written by experts, sitting behind their comfy desk, while sipping the cup of coffee their secretary just brought in. They probably thought: 'Ah! It's that time of year again!
