How cheap is too cheap?

4 Comments

The other day my son said he needed some new clothes.

Now I’m lucky, because he doesn’t care about labels and would rather have lots of cheap clothes than one or two designer pieces.

Except when it comes to hiking gear.

And he is still enjoying the suit I bought him for his year 12 ball.

So we went down to Kmart at his request and for $138 bought:

2 jumpers
3 teeshirts
2 pairs of jeans
socks
jocks
1 pair sandshoes

Not a bad little haul.

But I felt guilty.

The jeans were $7.

How can you make jeans for $7??

You can’t even buy the material.

If the sphincter of Oddi were a celebrity, it would be on Hollywood’s A-list; it affects multiple, vital organs in look here cheap viagra without prescriptions the reproductive system. Some people find it extremely http://www.slovak-republic.org/greater-fatra/ discount cialis difficult to keep their cool just before their marriage. Sources note viagra soft tabs that a full penile erection is not necessary for ejaculation or orgasm. Finally, others who need discounts on their slovak-republic.org buy cheap cialis motorcar insurance might choose to take a secure driver course that may end in the loss of your license if too several points are accumulated during a restricted time-frame. Imagine all the work that has gone into them.

Growing the cotton. Harvesting it. Processing it. Cutting it. Sewing it. Delivering it from China to Australia.

Then the mark up in the shop.

$7.

Who have I had to exploit to enable me to buy those jeans?

Today, in order to write this post I went to the Kmart website.

From the website

50 cents?

Must be a typo.

This is getting ridiculous.

The guilt didn’t stop me from buying the jeans this time.

I try and justify the cost against the $150 I spent on my own jeans a few weeks ago.

And that’s stupid too.

This world is crazy.

I’ve been thinking about that spider

When my son was a little tacker – about 2 – we asked him what he was thinking about.

He answered:

“I’m thinking about that spider.”

I don’t remember what spider – or even if there was a spider or if he was thinking about another spider somewhere else but it was such a sweet response that we have used it ever since.

You know, when you are staring off into the distance with your mind in limbo.

Or when asked what you’re thinking, you suddenly forget.

It’s a handy response to have in your back pocket.

This spider, the one in today’s photo was hiding behind a piece of loose bark on the tree my son was climbing.

It dropped to the ground and I think the spider was a bit stunned because not even the very close lens of my camera startled it.

Even prodding it gently with a twig only caused him to lethargically wave a front leg.

On the way home my son – now 15 – asked me what kind of spider it was.

A huntsman, I guessed.

What do they eat?

Humans.

Really?

No, not really.

Bless.

Even at 15 he’s still thinking about spiders.

Up close and personal

How to bow – the caterpillar lesson

1 Comment

I’ve been looking at some old family videos which we’ve recently digitised, and came across this one of my son’s second cello lesson.

Here he is learning to bow.

Or not.

My friend The Poshi and I decided we’d share lessons and get our sons learning Suzuki cello.

I even bought a cello to encourage him, though I never learned to play myself.

That’s where the whole Cellobella name came from.

We lasted a year or two but the boys hated it… well my boy did.

Diabetes increases the risk of many cardiovascular diseases viagra sans prescription canada http://raindogscine.com/?attachment_id=12 including coronary artery disease, heart attack, chest pain (angina), stroke, high blood pressure (hypertension) and narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis). Despite the stress response generic levitra being quite automatic, one may be able to reverse that response and any of its harmful effects by taking ashwagandha. Moreover, the consumption depends on the doctor as Yohimbe cheap levitra can cause a rise in blood pressure too. First it’s regarded as The World’s Strongest Antioxidant and it’s generic no prescription viagra totally safe and natural. I think he was too young.

And in retrospect he must have found reading the music so hard given his undiagnosed need for glasses.

He plays the piano now and I don’t have to force him to practice.

And yes, I still have my cello.

In the back room.

Untouched by human hand for years.

Funnily enough I discovered that my boss also has an untouched cello which she’s never learned to play.

Weird huh?

Teaching the boy to cook

Isn’t bolognese the easiest thing to cook? It’s my go to dish when I really can’t be bothered. The kids will eat it – it doesn’t take long or too many ingredients.

Well the other night my son walked past me as I was chopping up the onion and I thought – hey – he could learn how to cook this and bolognese would become even easier to make – I could make it from the couch! Oh and besides, a good mother teaches her son to cook… right?

No sooner had I mentioned it when Groover pipes up. “Make sure you break up the mince” he says, “don’t cook the onion too fast” he mentions and before I knew it – he’s in the kitchen.

Bonus I thought and left them to it!

Oh it’s the stuff of 21st birthday party speeches isn’t it?

Kerbside

When my daughter was 3 and my son 5, I made the mistake of picking up that “Where did I come from?” video at a second-hand book sale.

This cute animated video enthralled my two who watched it over and over, fascinated by the wiggly little sperm – the talk of penises and boobies – the love hearts appearing over the marital bed…

Eventually, after about a week I realised my mistake when taking the eldest to school one day. All the way there I was subjected to ALL the different names for boobs and penises. On and on and on. Frankly, it was a bit much even for this liberated mother who once let her son wear a dress.

I threw the video on top of the bookcase where the kids would never find it and pretended it had got lost.

But the damage had been done.

Not long after I caught my little girl standing on the letter box shouting: “Come back here you or I’ll get you with my magic vagina!”

Oops.
