My nanna has a persimon tree, i keep telling her to sell some because people are always asking her for them.

Very popular with the Asians apparently, an aphrodisiac, I just brought a box to take home.

I thought you'd need to be the opposite of horny, as in married woman levels.

A bloke with no pressure on him kicks a round ball into a net 5 times bigger than the bloke protecting it and the world loses it's mind.

Fair dinkum, their mid-teen years go by in a flash.

I think it's a combination of how busy they are ( school, sport, friends ) and how busy you are ( work, their sport, their friends, your friends ).

I reckon from Junior being 13-18 and Miss going from 10-15 at the same time went by in about 45 minutes.

I agree entirely, my now 17 year old came home with a hickey last night. Wasn’t that long ago he had zero interest in girls


I told him politely that “if I ever f%#<£n ever see one of those again no matter his age I will go postal”. I doubt I will see one again

Yep get that feeling, hence why our weekends are mad with sport and we don't get much rest but can see a time not too far off where they will be doing their own thing and we will have plenty of time on our hands.
