I don’t like nuts. They have a weird texture. Ok peanuts and raisins can be a bit addictive, but the raisins make the whole thing better. But I digress. I don’t like nuts, I pick them out of my cereal. I leave the nuts on the counter in the kitchen for the nutty people in the house.

My wife is psychic

Seriously, Marla can read my mind.
Most people would think this is a good thing, and in the ideal world it would be, because I would never have to ask her for anything, she would know what I need before I know I need it. Life would be great. (more…)
Ninja Dog and the Thunder storm
Posted in family, tagged Chrystina, family, fatherhood, parenting, thunder on October 26, 2009 | 2 Comments »
This morning we had a relatively rare thunder and hail storm in Cape Town. I grew up in JHB where storms like this mornings are commonplace during the summer (like a thunderstorm almost every day). So when Lightning booms across the sky it is met in my household with joy and delight (my wife is also an ex-Gautenger).
Well not so much joy and delight this morning.
I fixed it!

The other day CJ came to me in a bit of a state. Nothing too serious, just something that she could not handle by herself.

Alicia is quite sick right now. She has a virus that has over excited the mucous factories in her nose and lungs. Horrible cough and very blocked up nose. It has not been fun and games in the Tuffin household these past few days.

Directly translated that means “A farmer makes a plan” but here in South Africa we understand it to mean “you make do with what you have”.

Ever heard of the five love languages?
It is no accident that I listed my own top 2 first on the list. But this post is not about love languages specifically

I don’t think I will try that again.

You know those experiences that just turn you off something?
Like the time I ate so many tomato flavored chips as a kid and it made me very sick. As a result I could not look at tomato chips for a good number of years.
Or like a friend of mine who can’t eat anything with sweet chilly sauce, cause she got food poisoning from something that just happened to contain the stuff. You have had one of those experiences right?
Think about it, I will wait…
