Even Steffi talks about 'kids' in our house. It's definitely Grae's preferred term and it's his colleague's 'kids' she usually refers to. I don't know whether it's mine but it could be since she's still coming out with it 7+weeks since she last saw her Dad! -- Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 I normally refer to them as 'children', and when we have articles submitted for the newsletter I always change kid/s to child/ren. I do not have a house full of baby goats - despite the fact that it looks that way! wrote: > A friend of mine who is very anti-children always calls all wee ones " brats " > never anything. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
