My 10 year old nephew is in love with: Harry Potter, a few months ago it was Bakugans but now he's fading away from that, also any sports things and his DS of course. I usually find boys easy to shop for as they come in two categories: sporty and not sporty (overgeneralising here, but hey...) If I don't know what the kid wants and he's sporty, I get something football-related. If not, I usually get something crafty, like a build a volcano kit or a spy kit etc. etc. And Wii/Xbox/PS3 games are always popular. The older one could be at the right age for COD, maybe? If his mum's okay with it, it might be worth checking out...my sister think ten is a bit young for that sort of violent game. My nephew's been begging her for a COD game and she refuses to until he's at least twelve. But apparently it's 'the' game to have, so if the mum's fine with it... MarioKart? A Harry Potter game?

At a clothes store with my daughter (who is 15 months old) Me (looking at myself in mirror): So what do you think? Does mommy look good? Shop Assistant who happens to be walking past: Oh NO Maam! Me: Excuse me? Shop Assistant: (tuts disapprovingly) No no ma'am you have bigger stomach, you need bigger clothes. I get you two size up? Me: No, that's okay. I'm pretty sure this is my size Shop Assistant: (catches sight of baby, looks understanding) Ah, you have newborn little bebee! Don't worry mam, my sister lose all the weight...she go to gym, now she thin-thin like this! Me: Okaaaay...but she's not a newborn (Fine, she’s a preemie, but she does NOT look newborn!!) Assistant: No? Me: No, she actually just turned one Assistant: Oh she so small! (Nudges me in a friendly (??) way) She get that from Daddy eh? Me: ?!?!?! And what's more is although I'm not tiny like the fillipinos, I weigh 115 lbs!! Another one with DH over the weekend... At 7:15- DH gets up to get DD. He leaves the room and BANGS the door on his way out. Promises to let me sleep in. At 7:35- “I forgot to ask you if she can watch TV?” At 8:00- He comes in to say that he’s making breakfast and do I want any pancakes? My response: UHGAAAUGH LEMME SLEEP! At 8:19- He comes in to get something, forgets I’m sleeping and turns on the light. He leaves the door open on his way out. At 8:30- He brings DD to OUR bathroom for some reason to brush her teeth and they sing songs on full volume. Thankfully closes the door on his way out. At 9:00- He comes in with DD to use the bathroom and puts her on the bed. He takes AGES in there, sounding like a herd of elephants while DD uses me as her own personal jungle gym At 9:15- DH leaves with DD and bangs the door AGAIN on his way out. At 9:25- He comes in to tell me that he’s taking DD to the park At 9:50- “We’re baaaack! Let’s go see if mommy is awake!” I give up. At 3:00- DH: I’m so tired, I think I’m going to go to bed early tonight Me: I know, me too DH: How are you tired? You slept in til ten! Me: o_O
