I think those rubber devices are applied to pythons a lot……

Moss, are those rubber devices the same ones that prevent STDs and babies?
Yes. :ROFLMAO:

It's from Monty Python's Meaning of Life and has to do with a conversation about Catholics and Protestants. A Protestant couple is having a conversation with their one child as to why the Catholic family across the street has several dozen children.

This is the clip.

"I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiment."

About 10 months after our first was born, we got an offer from the child development program at Notre Dame to bring our child in for observation and developmental testing. They'd give us $20. So we joked about selling her for scientific experiment. :ROFLMAO:

We got to sit behind a two way mirror and watch them interact with her. She couldn't talk yet, but could sit up. So they sat her in a chair across a little table from the person conducting the testing. There were a bunch of little red blocks on the table. The tester never said a word. She took one block and set it in front of herself on the table. Our kid looked at her, then grabbed a block and set it in front of her as well and looked at the tester. So the tester took another block and stacked it on her own block and looked at our kid. Our kid looked at her and stacked another block on her own block and looked at the tester. The tester repeated this 3 more times. So did our kid. Finally the tower of blocks fell over and they both started laughing.

That was the test. They said she did better than most for her age, so we enrolled her in medical college immediately. :ROFLMAO:

Just kidding. There were a few more tests, and we took her back every few months for a couple years. When we had our 2nd child, they offered us a program for sibling development, so we did that as well. Each time it was $20 and we'd go out for pizza.

It was just interesting to see your kids pass these developmental milestones in everyone's life. Kinda reassuring to new parents.

It was to you. No doubt they got something out of it, also. Development starts at an earlier age than some want to think. A kid with parents who interact with them has more opportunity to learn than one with a parent who puts "Cars" on a continuous loop, then sits at another TV watching Reba all day.

Especially helps when a child is outgoing… took my niece at 14 months to Europe and she was a star in large part because she was so outgoing and quick to say hi and put out her hand to shake hands…. just such a positive attitude up for just about anything…

Later she told me it was because I would explain things to her instead of dictating.

For the Europe trip I did a build up about flying in the sky over the ocean to a far away place with real prince and princesses and castles… she was very articulate… more so than any of the others at such a young age…

At age 5 we returned with her 2 younger sisters and she was the tour guide… I kid you not saying how much fun we would have and of course lots of princess talk…
