Book Description at the back: It's mine! demonstrates that children can learn to share if they are assured they have the right to say "no", and if that right is respected.
Sounds like a good book for a toddler who needs to learn about sharing...

Sorry is not enough
When James is out of town on business trip, he usually asks K to give him a wake up call in the morning, On Nov 1, K forgot but sent a very sweet and apologetic email to James.
His reply: Slept in to 10:00. Missed my presentation. David fired me. I was so upset I jumped into the river behind Milcroft and drowned.

My job is to get information for employees, my work is not just limited to research type requests. Today I was asked if I have any balloons. Too bad that the person didn't ask me about toy sharks, I got a few of those.

newswire
Caroline forgot to cover nw for me (again!), many people expressed concerns and asked if I am "OK".
Next time when I am away, I will use the following as my standard out-of-office auto reply:
Karen is not available for newswire monitoring as she was:
- hit by a space shuttle
- eaten by a bear/shot by a hunter
- sick due to some serious work allergy
- fired. We wish her all the best...
- all of the above
The correct answer is 5: all of the above.

some quotes
We were in Babados for a week, on day Number 4 Nathan was having a little bit of constipation, we didn't want to go anywhere until he had his #2. We were a bit anxious and his response was "You get what you get".
[While observing a woman getting ice from a machine in a hotel] Thats not a monster. Just some guy.
[While looking at a picture of an underwear model in a magazine] That lady does not look like Mommy. But don't tell her I said that. Okay?
David has a donut on his head (david is quite bald)
"This lady doesn't have a home to go to so she has to sleep here" - just a woman suntanning at the beach and no, she didn't hear our conversation.
A cute moment -- Nathan was talking to daddy in the car about the lions and tigers in Mommy's office. when asked whether he concerned about the tigers eating Sobina, he said that they were good tigers that ate only dog food.
"Daddy, I can't love you forever because I have to go to the daycare"(Robert Munch's Love you forever)
When asked why Nathan didn't want to go to the daycare, he said "because I am so F***ing busy"
Nathan was being stubborn, Daddy said "you are exactly like your mother", his response was "Yes, I am short"
Nathan did he first Number 2 in the potty. Reaction: "what is that? " Mommy said Nathan just poo-pooed in the potty. Nathan claimed "No, it is SHIT"
Nathan told Mommy "yesterday Miriam said her best friend is now Jennifer"
