Police arrested a granny in Bloomington, Minn., for allegedly giving her 9-year-old granddaughter gin, causing the girl to vomit, fall down and hit her head.
The unnamed grandmother gave the alcohol in hopes the girl would pass out, so she could go out for the night rather than stay home baby-sitting, cops said.
The child’s mother was at work.
Isn’t that terrible? Hire a babysitter granny!
I certainly wouldn’t want to share my name with a famous movie character. Lately I’ve heard the tale of not just the movie Harry Potter, but two real life Harry Potter’s.
Two weeks ago I heard that a Brantford, Ontario Harry Potter was besieged with calls about the new Harry Potter book and movie and now I’ve just read about a 78 year old Florida man who’s name happens to be Harry Potter. He too has been getting calls from children every time a new book in the wildly popular series comes out.
“The kids want to know if I’m Harry Potter,” he said. “I tell them I’ve been Harry Potter for darn near 80 years!”
This weeks Theme is Childhood

Kids these days! What parent would stop and take a photo of their kid licking the snout of a pig? Who knows where that snouts been? It had to have been a guy taking the photo .. had to have been. I mean I probably would have, but my wife, as much as she loves good photo ops there’s no way. She would have been pulling that tot away from that slimy snout.
It’s a funny photo, but would you let your kid do that?
It’s an odd coincidence in Shreveport, LA hospital. Thirteen nurses from the new born intensive care unit are having babies.
An NICU nurse, Joyce Smith, who’s worked at the Christus Schumpert Sutton Children’s Medical Center for nearly 30 years says “they’re warning the staff there must be something in the water”.
The hospitals depart has of course had pregnant staff before, but never so many at one time. Two of the 13 women have already given birth, one is a new foster mom, and ten more are expecting.
Kerry Tynes, an Obstetrician says the pregnant nurses are keeping him on his toes.
Well good luck to the ladies. I hope that none of their children needs the services that the department they work in provides!
