Now that's a deal!! How did you know they were Nigerian? I can just imagine it: "Good afternoon. I am Nigerian. I would like to point out that what you are doing is irresponsible." Awesome!

Like you said, it's more the mentality of a larger issue. Certain things are acceptable (sitting in front of the tv all day, eating unlimited sweets, etc) while others aren't. It's everyone catering to society. Everything has its place and rituals and way of life. Women being allowed to fight? How dare you. ;-) But things change as people are forced to recognize their inconsistencies and lack of logical argument. Until then, don't worry about them. You're an excellent mom, as evinced by the fact that your kid is happy and healthy, something many parents can't claim. Wow, you’d think there’s a Mars bar famine going on.

I think I should request a muesli bar; married life agrees with me a little too much. If your innocuously adventurous kid startles strangers so much that they berate you, you can be reasonably confident he's turning out very well indeed.

You know that blade type bit of a pair of nail clippers that swivels out? I think it's for picking dirt out or something...any way, sharpen that before boarding then hold it to the neck of an air hostess to make ridiculous demands. Can I swap a mars bar for a snickers please? ;) This little competition is going to get us sent to guantanamo! Worth it for a mars/snickers tho :D Easy peasy!

But let them play outside in the water when it’s a little bit chilly? How dare you!" Ha ha i think thats the truth right there? Good post Rosi.... Oh and if i come up with multiple ways of Hijacking a plane with nail clippers, do i get more mars bars?? “We can feed our kids on a diet of burgers, chips and fizzy drink, sit them in front of the TV and video games all day, even chain smoke cigarettes while pushing their buggy and the great mass of those-who-know-best will hardly bat an eyelid, never mind venture to pass comment.

USe the nail clippers to cut open the packets of dried mushroom soup you brought with you. Explode out of your seat at an appropriate moment, such as when the flight attendants are by the kitchen areas, not blocking the aisles with trolleys. Be sure to scatter powder all around as you run, chuck one in each service/toilet area to take out the crew. Leave some soup on the floor outside the cabin to prevent your being taken from behind by passengers armed with antihistamines. As soon as you enter the cabin douse the captain with powdered soup. Then, using the nail clippers, (their usefulness hasn't been served yet!) threaten to absolutely ruin the incapacitated pilot's moustache unless the co-pilot diverts to iran/cuba. You could also try berlin, but who'd want to go there? Ok. USe the nail clippers to cut open the packets of dried mushroom soup you brought with you.
