I Like The Chinese

8 Jan

They have an excellent policy on the elderly – visit them, or else.

A newspaper reports that the Chinese government is considering a law that requires children to visit their aging parents or face legal consequences.

I wish they’d bring it in here: Tory Boy has only been home twice since September.

If you came here expecting a longer post, I have to tell you that I am exhausted from the three-page essay on my limerick over on SAPoems.  Can you tell me why it is, the shorter my poems, the longer the exposition?

    I love being visited by my family, but it’s jolly hard work with all the shopping, cooking and laundry, not to mention entertaining them! Maybe that’s why I feel about as energetic as a length of string!

    I love your South African blog and have included it in my blogroll. I included your Laughing Housewife blog, also.

    Sounds like a reasonable law to me. 🙂

    No kidding? That sounds very interesting. Wouldn’t it be amazing if they even talked about something like that here?

      It would, wouldn’t it. Apparently the number of elderly literally abandoned in old people’s homes is quite terrifying. Scary thought on a day when I discovered that I have a white hair in my right eyebrow…

      It would. Just shows that even communists have a good side 🙂

      OOps! Accidentally typed ‘god side’ – talk about a Freudian slip 🙂

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
