A THREE-YEAR-OLD ALMOST DROWNS IN THE BATHTUB BECAUSE HER MOM WAS PREOCCUPIED WATCHING "AMERICAN IDOL"
Last Thursday, 25-year-old Sheila Brooks of Indianapolis, Indiana, was giving her daughters . . . three-year-old Sirius and one-year-old Sereena . . . a bath. They were just about finished when Sheila went to get the girls some clothes. But on her way back to the bathroom, Sheila got preoccupied. See, "American Idol" was on TV. Sheila stopped to watch . . . you know, just for a minute. Of course, Sheila got so wrapped up in the show she COMPLETELY FORGOT about her two young daughters in the bathtub. And by the time she finally remembered, Sirius had slipped underwater . . . and had started to drown. Sheila freaked. She pulled Sirius from the tub and began CPR while her brother . . . 38-year-old Darnell Wilson . . . called 911. An ambulance arrived and they rushed the girl to the hospital where she was revived. And while doctors think Sirius is going to be OK, Sheila still has some explaining to do. Apparently, the police who responded to the 911 call found Sheila's secret stash . . . which included more than an ounce of marijuana and a scale. Sheila hasn't been charged yet in the near drowning . . . but her five daughters have been taken from her and placed in protective custody. (Indianapolis Star)
TWO MOMS GET INTO A FISTFIGHT AT CHUCK E. CHEESE AFTER THEIR KIDS ARGUE OVER AN ARCADE GAME
Don't you just love it when you see parents setting a good, solid example for their kids? Like these two ladies . . .
Last Saturday, 38-year-old Catherine Aliaga of West Roxbury, Massachusetts, threw a birthday party for her nine-year old son at Chuck E. Cheese. While there, Catherine's son got into an argument with a 13-year-old boy. It seems the older boy was "hogging" a basketball arcade game and wouldn't let Catherine's son take a turn. Catherine told her son to wait patiently . . . but after the older boy shoved her son, Catherine intervened and told the older kid to get lost so her son could play the game. That didn't sit well with 33-year-old Tarsha Williams of Dorchester, Massachusetts . . . who is the older boy's mother . . . and she got up in Catherine's face. The ladies exchanged words . . . and the situation quickly escalated into an all-out fist fight . . . in front of all the kids . . . at Chuck E. Cheese. The cops showed up and arrested both ladies. They're now both waiting for their court dates. (MetroWest Daily News)

Just a Funny
How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb?
1. Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned out bulb?
2. Border Collie: Just one. And then I'll replace any wiring that's not up to code.
3. Dachshund: You know I can't reach that stupid lamp!
4. Rottweiler: Make me.
5. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark.
6. Lab: Oh, me, me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeze let me change the light bulb! Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeze, please, please, please!
7. German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make just one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation
8. Jack Russell Terrier: I'll just pop it in while I'm bouncing off the walls and furniture.
9. Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? I'm sorry, but I don't see a light bulb!
10. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark. (This used to be so true at my house)
11. Chihuahua : No quiero Taco Bulb. Or "We don't need no stinking light bulb."
12. Greyhound: It isn't moving. Who cares?
13. Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle...
14. Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry.
How many cats does it take to change a light bulb?
Cats do not change light bulbs. People change light bulbs. So, the real question is:
"How long will it be before I can expect some light, some dinner, and a massage?"
ALL OF WHICH PROVES, ONCE AGAIN, THAT WHILE DOGS HAVE MASTERS, CATS HAVE STAFF!

Mother of the Year Awards...
We get all kinds of women who shop at "Chunky's"..... but here are 2 who should be up for "Mother of the Year"
Candidate #1
One busy Sat. a mom comes in w/ 3 children (ages roughly 10, 4, and 2). She looks around and ignores all the children while the oldest of the 3 tries to babysit the other 2. She (oldest) runs after the other 2 all over the store, trying to keep them from playing in the racks and basically destroying the store. She comes to me and asks to use our restroom, we are only allowed to let one person in at a time and since we already have someone in there I tell her she will have to wait a few minutes, she says OK and walks away. A minute later, my manager calls me to the front to let me know the 2yr. old has peed all over the floor. It looked like she had walked in a circle while letting it all out shall we say. Oldest child is really embarrassed and asks for a mop so she can clean it up. I get the mop, clean it up and set out the "Wet Floor" signs. "MOM" has yet to acknowledge the situation as she is too busy talking on the phone to realize what is going one w/ her own children. When she does figure out what is going on, instead of being embarrassed, or even apologizing, she yells at oldest and youngest for making the mess. I was dumbfounded! I would have been mortified first of all, and I would have volunteered to clean the mess and immediately left the store to change my poor child. Not this mom...there was shopping to be done...she stayed almost another hour in the store with the poor wet child crying the whole time that she wanted to changed clothes. We found out after she did leave that she had stolen a complete outfit....we found empty hangers where she had been standing in the corner that were not there before she came in. Class act!
Candidate #2
Mom comes in w/ small boy (probably 2 or 3 yrs old) She asks if he can use the restroom because he is learning to "potty" and she doesn't want an accident while she shops. GREAT! Sounds like she is on top of things. They go to the restroom and then begin shopping. They are in the store a good hour just roaming around. The little boy starts saying he needs to go potty.....she tells him to wait....he says again he really needs to go potty....she gets angry and yells at him to wait...this goes on for about 20 mins. I explain to her that I would be glad to let them in the restroom again if she needed. "No, he'll be fine...he just went" Now, before I explain what happened next...although I bet you can guess....let me just ask you, if he were potty training and was asking to go, shouldn't you take him every time he asked? Anyway, as I am sure you can guess the poor little guy had an accident. Mom laid into him like you wouldn't believe! Yelling at him that he should have waited and if he couldn't wait he should have told her! Poor kid HAD been telling her for almost 30 mins!
These are just two of the candidates so far this year and it's just Feb.!
