Friday, August 8th, 2008To whom it may concern at Huggies Inc,
I have lined your pockets with many dollars over the past three and a half years, initially because of the fact that the scary plasti-chemical combo you include in your nappies is the only one not to give my oldest daughter nappy rash.
So please tell me why my […]
The eye has it
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008That little heart sticker that I tried to remove from A’s eye yesterday has magically reappeared and we have not been able to extract it from its cosy little position beneath her bottom eyelid. So mr hissychick has just taken our little punk chick to the GP after hours clinic attached to the nearest […]
Priceless
Friday, July 11th, 2008Early morning. A polite knock on the bedroom door.
A: Good morning Mummy can I come in?
Me: Sure darling, and good morning to you too.
A: (accepts and returns my kiss but then pushes straight past me to the object of her affection): Morning E. It’s breakfast time.
E (whole face lighting up): Did ay Daba! (G’day A!)
A […]
Three years five months
Friday, July 4th, 2008You talk and discuss and muse aloud, using words such as interested, dangerous and probiotic in their appropriate contexts with consummate ease. You have so many funny sayings and philosophical questions, as I have faithfully recorded so many times on this blog.
You can dress yourself from head to toe, patiently threading the straps of your […]
“When I grow up, I’m going to get an earring in my tongue”
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Yes, A uttered those words to me upon spying a picture of a tongue pierced girl at the dental clinic this morning. And I couldn’t even say no seeing as her father only got rid of his in the last year.
Other gems from today include:
“If you’re naughty Daddy I will bite you on the boob” […]
A threenager of letters
Sunday, April 20th, 2008As I have mentioned more than once in passing, I harbour no aspirations to be a writer. There is the matter of a lack of talent, as well as an unwillingness to turn my gaze inwards and search for the right words to convey my feelings in a profound manner. I freely […]
How a threenager renders you speechless. Again.
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008It is earlier this evening, and A and mr hissychick are taking a shower while I bathe E. All is as it should be -cosy domestic humdrum- until A pipes up with the following:
A (gravely as she draws on the shower screen with bath crayons): Daddy, I’ve got a bolva (vulva)*, although some […]
Not a good idea
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008My mother’s group have been rather slack of late when it comes to organising our usual weekly get together for many and varied reasons which I won’t bore you with. Which is how I found myself at a softplay centre this morning. Just A, E and me.
Ahh playcentres. Silly me just thought I […]
Hot text
Friday, February 22nd, 2008If there is one thing I have to thank my MIL for, it’s mr hissychick’s love of celebrity gossip. Reared from a very early age on a steady diet of Woman’s Day and New Idea magazines, he is always first with the latest news from the world of entertainment. Take this morning’s series of text […]
Welcome to hissychick.com
Sunday, February 17th, 2008Welcome internets, to my new and (hopefully much) improved blog. I will leave you to explore at your leisure, but would love to hear any comments or suggestions that you may have. Provided they are nice, otherwise I’ll pout.
Anyway.
In keeping with my new and improved shiny goodness, I thought I would share some photos […]
