					<description>Davak this is hilarious!

Does  this happen before or after the good wine?

Have you seen the bumper sticker that says:

&quot;My skateboarder can kick your Honor Roll Student's Ass!&quot;

					<description>One of the games I see often is the &quot;how can I brag about my children&quot; games...

I try desperately to avoid playing at all costs.

1. Parent brags on his/her kid in some subtle way.

Johnny started walking when he was 10 months.  He's been a handful walking SO early!

2. Different Parent returns the volley.

I bet so.  Susie started talking way before most other kids.  Her little chatter SO embarrasses me sometimes!

Nobody ever wins.  But there are two ways of losing.  

Losing #1:   Stretch too far to brag about the kid.

Johnny passes a lot of gas,  Dr. Phil said this was a sign that the child is defeating his natural anal tendencies.

Losing #2:  Losing the ability to be subtle.

My kid... my kid... my kid would kick your KID'S ASS!  My kid is the smartest EVAR!!!

You can tell when somebody loses that everybody in the conversation quickly changes subjects.</description>
