Hi Alicja,
Use 'today' or 'this morning', but not 'today morning'.
You should leave a space after colons, commas and full stops.

This morning I heard this story on the radio: A father asked a waiter to pack uneaten food for the dog. The children shouted, "Hurrah! Father is going to buy a puppy!"

Well , I don't believe that this is an embarrassing moment for parents. But check this one . The father went shopping with his kid, suddenly when they were buying a necessary goods, son asked his father. Dad, how am I born? His father felt a bit unpleasantly trying to find the 'best' answer for his kid. While the other customers were staring at him and waiting for his answer. He came up with a nice idea, at least it usually work in the moments like this. He said, you have been brought by a stork. He was actually happy for an answer like this. But a kid came up with an unexpected reaction. Oh father, I can't believe you're doing storks as well! Hhahahah

Kids say and do the darnest things! Patiently abiding your kids antics is part and parsel of being a parent.
And I know of no sure fire way to get out of predicaments your kids will get you into.

Hello Our Tort System! You are using -as for me- a bit sophisticated language but eventually I got to the clue.You are absolutely right. Alicja1

One day, a father took his 7-year-old kid to a computer hardware store in order to buy some necessary parts to assembly a PC for the kid. After they picked up all the items, the clerk showed them the quotation. The total was 25,500 in NTD (New Taiwan Dollar). The father thought, "I should be able to haggle the price down to 25,000."
The father: Well, it seems to be a little bit expensive. Actually, I do not have enough budget to pay it. Uh..., could you ...
The kid: Daddy, daddy, WE DO. Didn't we just withdraw 30 thousand dollars from the ATM?
The clerk: .....
The father: ....

Do you know who the father is?
That's right, you are as smart as the little kid, my son.

I don't really have any answers to your question, especially since I have no children of my own. So right now I can only imagine I would apply perhaps the most popular stratagem, and that is: possibly mumble some apologizes and then grab one naughty child (or more) and drag them away from the ''public'' as quickly as possible.

(I do need to come up with some better methods soon though since I do have an itty-bitty nephew and a niece on the way. :-))

Dear Alija,

My son is just 3 months old... So I will see how he will behave after few years... Upbringing is not as simple as we think it is.. It doesn't depend on us, it depends on heredity, environment and education...

Dear Kiprida! First,I congratulate you your sweet baby. There is much truth in what you write.But believe me that much depends on parents,especially in the early years of development and then through whole life. My son fell ill with hopeless disease at age 19, but thanks our great effort he is healthy now and supportive for me. I greet you heartily. Alicja1
