There is no shortage of articles written about how we are destroying ourselves and our ability to concentrate by using technology. We think we are multitasking but really we are just doing lots of crap really poorly. A favorite ploy of the iphone, ipod, ipad, iblog, icannolongerconcentrate set is the list -- that is about all I can manage so here's today's.
THINGS NEVER TO SAY ABOUT YOUR INFANT CHILD(REN)
1. She's finally asleep.
2. I might have heard something but I'm not sure, finish what you are doing then I'll change her diaper.
3. I'm sure she's done; let's switch them; she can't still be hungry.
4. She's just complaining, she'll settle down in a minute.
Yeah, my list only has four things on it, but I am a of the generation that was told it was good to be different. And it's all I got. I think the message is clear: don't tempt fate. The universe has a cruel sense of humor. To those of you who don't believe in jinxing yourselves, I salute you (!), but children -- especially two at once -- may be a rude awakening.
