the "third side" is the foot of the bed

Just about everything connected to advertising is a giant bag of peeve.

At least your upside down text shows a level of creativity hitherto unknown in the world of ads.

Just be glad you are able to get him into said bed. Our daughter has to be conned by being allowed to fall asleep in our bed, then get moved. Little shit has a tendency to wake up right as I want to go to bed myself, so I end up stuck in the living room.

I'm this close to farting on all her pillows.

You could rename the living room to the sleeping room.

My 3 yo , at 7 PM last night said "dad , sleep time" and by 7:15 he was asleep in his own bed. Then he came in around midnight.

Hyperbole aside, this method has about a 95% success rate. Provided I time moving her into her room correctly, she'll stay in there till morning.

I think kids should come with a Government health warning.

Young Sir has been pushing his bed time later and later, stalling to getting a drink of water etc. Then over the Thanksgiving break we were visiting cousins and we were up late being adults and not getting to our hotel until 11. Ten hour drive yesterday and he was hyper by the time we got home. I just wanted to go to bed. Thankfully he slept in a bit this morning. Getting him back into a more sensible routine will be this week's challenge.

Want to stop teen pregnancies? Give the ****ers a baby each to look after for a month once they turn thirteen. One week of that shit and they'll all be reaching for the birth control before you can say "maybe I'll just have a wank instead" ...

The abbreviated version is more apt

I'm going 55mph. You think you can go from 0 to 55mph uphill in the five seconds it takes me to reach you? There's no one behind me, just wait until I have passed. Either you are thick as hell or a real dick.

Arseholes like this drive me nuts (unintentional pun). I am amazed at how lacking in self-awareness some people are.

Got on to the slip road for the motorway this morning, put my foot down, noticed a crappy van had parked up and just as I reached it, doing about 80, he just pulled out in front of me and joined the motorway doing 60kmh, no lights, no nothing. Meanwhile I've slammed on the anchors and so has everyone behind me. ****wits the lot of them.

That's the kind of twat who'd notice a 50 car pile up in his mirror and think to himself "I wonder what caused that?"
