MY FAMILY VERSUS MY FAMILY

Meet my family. Actually it's not MY family, but it certainly acts as if it is...excuse the pun. Have you ever watched this sitcom? If not then you're missing out, it's hilarious.

I can relate to this particular family, and I'm sure there are a lot of parents who can. There are 5 members, parents, 2 sons and a daughter, exactly the same as in mine. It is especially apparent in the children. The eldest, Nick, ever the joker, funny, intelligent but not the sharpest tool in the box and, poor thing, always getting it wrong or putting his foot in it. Sounds just like our eldest. Then there's the daughter, Janie, snapping all the time, fashion conscious, not interested in school, shopping all week long if she could and boys, boys, boys...appearance is everything. Sounds like our daughter. And then there's n°2 son, Mikey, very smart, studious, witty, academic, level headed and knows all the answers. Sounds like our n°2 son. Watching this program allows me to sit back and watch everything I've been through already that day, or other days, and laugh about it, rather than pull my hair out. Don't get me wrong I love "My Family", but I love MY family more and wouldn't have it any other way!!

CLYDE, THE OTHER MICHAEL JACKSON

This is our dog, he's called Clyde. The coolest dog in the world, that is when he's not peeing in my slippers!! This is what he looked like as a baby...Awww so cute. The other picture shows a more mature Clyde, as you can see he's a bit more intelligent now, (except for the peeing bit). He chose the hat & glasses himself, said he wanted to look more like Michael Jackson....Well he got the white bit right at least, and fortunately all his extremities are intact. Actually, he's not a bad singer, but his English vocab leaves a lot to be desired, being French and all that. He's just joined Twitter and he's got more followers than me!! Except that I have to type for him as his claws keep scratching the keyboard, and I'm worried that the big balls of white fluff I keep finding behind the computer might catch fire. His hobbies, apart from Michael Jackson and the slipper thing, are sleeping, eating, chasing cats, digging, oh and he does like the Daily Telegraph with his breakfast...Bless...It's a dogs life!!!

PS. If there are any lady Clydes reading he's just said he's looking for a bit of action...OOlala!
