Little Johnny was not paying attention in class so the math teacher called on him and said, Johnny! What are 5, 2, 28 and 40? Little Johnny quickly replied, NBC, CBS, HBO, and Cartoon Network!

After eventually getting timeline last year (did not even watch the video on timeline), eventually decided I need to setup an account for my baby daughter…want to write about her life, especially with her being diabetic, it should make for an interesting read.
I wake up everyday, look at my daughter and realize, she is beautiful, smart, funny, strong and stubborn, just like her poppa… and I’m the luckiest dad ever!!
Animal Noises
Some young children were sitting in a circle with their
teacher. She was going around in turn asking them all
questions.
“Davy, what noise does a cow make?”
“It goes ‘moo.'”
“Alice, what noise does a cat make?”
“It goes ‘meow.'”
“Jamie, what sound does a lamb make?”
“It goes ‘baaa.'”
“Jennifer, what sound does a mouse make?”
“Errr…, it goes… ‘click!'”
During a dinner party, the hosts’ two little children entered the dinning room totally nude and walked slowly around the table. The parents were so embarrassed that they pretended nothing was happening and kept he conversation going. The guests cooperated and also continued as if nothing extraordinary was happening.
After going all the way around the room, the children left, and there was a moment of silence at the table, during which one child was heard to say, “You see, it is vanishing cream!”
Picking Up
Carl listened from the other room as his wife Holly patiently said to
their five-year-old, “Please pick up your toys, Maureen.”
After a few minutes, Holly again reminded their daughter.
Finally Holly asked, “Why aren’t you picking your things up?”
Carl rolled his eyes when he heard Maureen answer, “I’m playing house
and I’m the dad, so I don’t know where anything goes.”
We spend the first twelve months of our children’s lives teaching them to walk and talk, and the next Twenty-four years telling them to sit down and shut up!
Healthy Halloween for diabetic children
Posted: Tuesday, 25 October, 2011 in Health and wellness, KidZ, LifeWhile there are challenges, Halloween can still be fun for children with diabetes, an expert says.
"They can enjoy Halloween and enjoy some of the sweets the holiday offers – within reason," Dr Kenneth McCormick, a paediatric endocrinologist and senior scientist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Diabetes Centre, said in a university news release.
"We give parents and kids three options and let them decide how they want to handle Halloween and the sweets that come with it," he explained.
The first option is to count carbohydrates. A child tracks how many carbohydrates he or she consumes and takes, for example, one unit of insulin for every 15 to 20 grams of carbohydrates.
"This is an easy option for kids on an insulin pump because they can just dial in an extra dose of insulin to compensate for what they are about to eat. But for kids that take shots, this could prove to be more difficult or inconvenient if they have to go to the school nurse for an extra dose," McCormick said.
Other goodies
The second option is to exchange candy for other goodies.
"Parents can trade the child a gift, money or low-carbohydrate snack for their candy. Parents also can provide a substitute snack for their child if a Halloween party at school is an issue," McCormick said. "We have been advising parents to do this for many, many years, and it is a solution that continues to work."
The third option is saving Halloween treats for dessert after dinner.
"By incorporating a sugary treat into mealtime, when a child would normally get a dose of insulin, it eliminates the need for adding doses to their regimen," McCormick said.
