My boyfriend’s dad is a retired undercover police detective and he has lots of funny gadgets for men that he used to use for covert operations. One day when my boyfriend and I were just hanging out we got a bored and decided to look through his dad’s old stuff. We came across a voice changer and started playing around with it.
We thought it was so cool to make our voices sound different and we wanted to test it out to see if people could recognize us. It was his idea to make some prank calls.

Needless to say, he didn’t approve.
My six-year-old son used to want me to do everything for him—from getting him dressed in the morning to blowing his nose. After his last birthday, however, he has developed a desire for independence. He now insists on doing things for himself and often gets livid if you offer assistance.
While my husband and I don’t mind allowing him some freedom, there are certain tasks that we like to have some supervision over.

One of the old adages among people of faith is that they see God at work in their lives. Whether it be in nature or in random acts of kindness from their fellow man, these people are constantly finding ways to reaffirm there faith. Others try to find more concrete evidence of a higher power, looking for religious images in everyday objects.
Some people have claimed to see chips or cereal shaped in the image of a God, Jesus or some other Biblical character. There have even been claims that the spots on certain cows are in the image of Jesus. My mother is one of those people who are constantly looking for signs from above, so to freak her out a little bit I decided to imprint her breakfast last Sunday with the Holy Toast stamp—she almost fainted when she saw it.
Every age group has its own preferences. With children, what a toddler wants would naturally be very different from a teenager’s wish list.
