Correct use of an apostrophe

Someone who can swallow their pride and return after a good flounce.

Empathy, compassion, sense of humour, honesty.

Not judging others because they do/did things differently. Accepting that we all parent differently and do what we fel is right for our children.

HarpsichordCarrier · 16/08/2006 23:18

the empathy to understand that things and people are not always what they seem on an internet forum
the maturity and kindness not to take things too personally
the ability to shrug off a grudge in the twinkling of an eye
the ability to say "vulva" without blushing or hesitating

Twoholes · 16/08/2006 23:21

twoholes I am delighted that you think of vulva every time you see my name

I don't know who you are but by God I would like to know

myturn · 16/08/2006 23:24

Vulva is such a hilarious word Or perhaps it isn't and I have just had too many vodkas..

An excellent sense of humour is the making of an excellent MNer.

Twoholes · 16/08/2006 23:26
