Why parents hair turns grey.

Why Parents go GRAY

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the maincomputers,he dialed the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whisper,

"Hello."

"Is your daddy home?" he asked.

"Yes," whispered the small voice.

"May I talk with him?"

The child whispered, "No."

Surprised, and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked,

"Is your mommy there?"

"Yes."

"May I talk with her?"

Again the small voice whispered, "No."

Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message,the boss asked, "Is anybody else there?"

"Yes," whispered the child, "a policeman."

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee's home, the Boss asked, "May I speak with the policeman?"

"No, he's busy," whispered the child.

"Busy doing what?"

"Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.

Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone the boss asked, "What is that noise?"

"A hello-copper," answered the whispering voice.

"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now alarmed.

In an awed whispering voice the child answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper."

Alarmed, concerned, and even more then just a little frustrated the boss asked, "What are they searching for?"

Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle:
"ME."

My yougest did that once.

My youngest daughter, Chelsie, who is 6 now did a similar thing a couple of years ago.

One spring morning, my wife went looking for her, calling her name, and there was no answer. She ran around the house, screeming her name, and could not find her. She then realised the front door was open and didn't remember leaving it open. She fantically called 911 and told them what was going on. Had the entire police department and then some swarming the area looking for her. after about 10 minutes my wife heard a noise in the backyard. She went and found Chelsie playing inside her kid size dollhouse. She had gotten mad at Mom because Mom wouldn't let her do something, and so she stormed outside to play by herself and decided not to answer Mom when she screamed for her.

I think my wife aged 10 years that day.

Needless to say I have childproofed the outside doors, so my wife always knows when somebody goes outside, and can prevnt them from going out when needed.

Hoooo Boy!


I shudder to think of what my parents would have done to me if I had ever done that!

Now that I have kids, I can understand how that would scare the bejeepers out of you!

Amen brother......

I will say that thank God that ADD (attention deficit disorder) wasn't prominent when I grew up. If my dad thought I had that, he would have spanked me twice so that I would have remembered the spanking at least once.

Also, I think my dad was the originator of the phrase,

"Don't make me come back there!".

I believe

My Dads favorite was " I'll give you something to cry about ".

Two summers ago during our fourth of July party, my youngest walked over to the nieghbors to play in their toy room. He sat there having fun while we screamed his name and my guest drove up and down the street.

Yea, I have a little grey now.

I only have four kid's...so what color is my hair supposed to be??

You

still have hair?

Glenn Harrison_2

What do you mean \"ONLY four kids\"?

I have four daughters and anytime I tell somebody I get funny looks, condolences and "How do you do it" like I must be insane for having four kids. Thankfully I started young so the grays are at a minimum.

In our house it was always "wait till Mom finds out." Dad took the passive role. That trait was not passed down to me.

Reminds me of.....

the time I was in a dept. store with my parents.I got sick of shopping with themn so I went on my own.Well, after some time my parents found me and my Dad kicked my a** all the way out the store. Never left his side again when we went to the store.

Wait till your father gets home. THEN he would give us "something to cry about"
