I met our neighbor today. He walked out his door and asked me, "How do you put up with them?" I pretended I did not understand him. I asked, "How do I keep up with them?" He said, "No, put up with them." I told him I loved them. He said, "You have 3 of them. Hmmm. I am a W.C Fields guy. I hate kids and dogs."
This was the end of our conversation.

what is W.C. Fields?? and POO on him. for goodness sakes, a little more tact please, sir.
Hmm. I have a word for this dude, and although it is becoming more mainstream on the vernacular spectrum, I guess I'll still refrain from using it. It starts with a 'd' though.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W.C._FieldsFields was an old vaudevillian and comedic actor. His trademark catchphrase was in a dry whispry annoyed tone: "Go'way kid, you're both'rin' me..."
that is wonderful. bless him. glad i wasn't there to receive that. who knows what might have been said:). i'm thankful you "put up with them".
I mean not everyone loves kids but I mean keep the comment to yourself...it helps no one. W.C. Fields also hated women and was an alchoholic so I don't think I would be modeling my life after him anyway. I second Shana..what a POO Head!
Oh my goodness- how rude! It's scary how some in our society view children. Your kids are especially good, precious and beautiful to boot!
He sounds delightful.
What is W.C.Fields?
reminds me of when i was traveling alone with a colicky 3 month old...i was seated between two very large older men on the plane. i joked with one as i sat down, "do you like babies?" "no, " he said. the other one said, "me neither." after trying to nurse silas while he kicked at first one gentleman and then the other....i was kindly shown a seat in the back by a kind stewardess. geeez, folks.
Did you ask to switch rooms?
No way. Maybe he needs cookies personally delivered by all 3 children...cutely wrapped with a bow on top saying Jesus Loves Him!!!
I think what he meant to say was, "I'm a FREAK!" Don't take your eyes off those babies! Gran
