Interesting Content: Suggested Topics

"If you wonder where your child left his roller skates, try walking around the house in the dark".  ~Leopold Fechtner

I may have read about 20 of these informative articles or blogs on how to create interesting content. It has been ...interesting, to say the least. I get the some people are interested in gardening and crocheting and how to get grease stains out of auto upholstery. I understand that for some people, who is getting traded where and who they are getting in return is truly important. I even get that in some cases, a nearly lucid debate about the merits of anime versus manga is spine tingling and followed with baited breath. However, these are not going to interest me much. How about these for some great "content"?
1) How do I make my kid eat her lunch instead of trading all the veggies for someone's bbq ribs?
2) What do I say when said child informs me I must purchase ribs for her to eat on a regular basis because she is part wolf and wants to gnaw on the rib bones?
3) How do I get the backhoe I will need to clean the kid's room through the front door?
4) How do I keep from cackling madly and calling for my winged monkeys the next time someone tells me how polite my children are?
5) Why is there no cure for children-itis?
6) How do I keep myself from demonstrating a serious lack of self control the next time some 20-something idiot cuts me off on the busiest road in the city, at the busiest time of the day, during a blizzard?
7) Is there a recipe for keeping your child intact as a human being through Jr High?
8) Is there a recipe for keeping me intact as my child goes through the hell of Jr High?
9) That old saw that opines only sane people ask if they are insane...WRONG!
10) Why, oh, why, does the husband who steals the blankets every night complain when the room is actually cool? He never gets cold!
11) In-Laws....discuss.
12) At what time in a child's life are they ready to hear that the only reason they made it this far is because eating our young is generally frowned upon?
13) Political correctness be damned;" Begone Foul Wretch" IS a good name for the little vermin who follow my daughter around!
14) NO, it is not unreasonable to make you wait until you have a full black belt before you single date. And a mortgage!
15) Farting: Why it is not a socially acceptable way to introduce yourself.
16) Burping: Why it is not a socially acceptable way for a boy to demonstrate he likes you.
17) Yes, my darling child, you do have to do your homework. No, you can not pay your sister to do it for you. No, you can not pay me to do it. Yes, you may pack and move out as soon as you have done your homework!
18) Adolescence: First one to show four scars gets to drink!
19) Why making you clean your bedroom until it is actually...you know...clean...is NOT a form of abuse.
20) Oh, NO, you did NOT just say that to MY child?!

Now, these aught to generate some very good, deep, insightful content!
