What's the subject of the tag, sweetie? 10 things unknown? 10 things that are secret till now?
Please tell me and I will react. . .
(btw: your father: make efforts... sorry, don't mean to 'lecture' - but do. your father is your father and whatever is the reason for not seeing him, he will always stay your father - don't create a situation in which you will have to live with the memory you might have missed something... after his 120 has come).
(just some friendly 'advise' for so far as I can see in my restricted view)

Yeah I was tagged with this a while back. For what it's worth, I failed math also. Those damn numbers!
Thanks for indulging me.
1. It's funny how little kids refuse stuff. My girlfriend was a year younger and I refused to leave kindergarten so we could be in school together. And my parents agreed. She dumped me a year later. Whore. (she tried to get back together when we were ten years old, but it was too late for us).
2,3. That's cute.
4. It was math for me. I became a math wizard after that, though.
5. That's cool. I never did that.
6. I see a bright future for the two of you together. Maybe she's still there, waiting.
7. Not touching that one. (See? I learn from other people's comments).
8. How about "Dad"? (Damn, I couldn't help myself. Sorry. I really am. I take it back).
9. I saw someone do that once. I think it's weirder to read about someone doing it than to actually see it. It made sense to me when I saw that.
10. Old people sleep.
hehe
something changed in year 12 and i ended up getting 98 for advanced maths.. it ended up being my highest grade..
both my teacher and i were extremely surprised.. suddenly id find answers to difficult questions even though i wasnt ever quite sure what i was doing..
:s
"Dad" for my board lol thats hilarious! given i need to lie on top of it for hours a tad sickening but hilarious nonetheless..
hahah
LOL @ number 3. You Israeli kids are so spoilt!
random fact relating to naming inanimate objects:
I used to have the oldest car in the neighborhood, so my family called it "Grandma." When I moved to France, my dad sold the car. I remember him telling me about it on the phone when I was at work. I was surprised because I didn't think he'd be able to sell it so quickly, so I shouted, "You sold Grandma?!?!"
Needless to say, I had some 'splainin' to do after I got off the phone.
Oh, sorry, so the moral of the story is: Be careful what you name your inanimate objects. Like you said, you wouldn't want to talk about how you spent X number of hours lying on top of Dad.
thats pretty frikkin funny
:D
