I'm a nanny and one day the little boy, Tristan, asked me where his sisters (the babies) came from. So, not knowing how to answer him, I turned the question on him to see what he thought.. His first answer was "Costco". After I was done laughing, I grabbed my camera and tried to re-create the moment.. For clarification: yes, Tristan is holding Mr. Potato Head glasses, Costco is a super-warehouse store where most things are sold in bulk & at cost AND that was a DOG that barked and scared the crap out of Tristan and most everyone else watching! :) **Update!** 12/22/08 K! First off- Happy Birthday Bryan!! Second- WOW!! Over 1 million views! This time last year I thought over 800000 was amazing! Thanks so much everyone! Lastly-Thanks to everyone who stands up for Tristan & me when the haters start to comment! He's just a boy ya'll!! Go be mean somewhere else or the demon dog will bite you in your sleep! lol

Natalie Tran aka CommunityChannel, was in LA recently and had only one day to hang out. What did she do with that one day? She used it to hang out with us. (silly) haha. This was actually the first time we ever met Natalie, though we've been long time fans of her work, so we really had a great time. During the day she kept saying all she really wanted to do was get a Churro. She also kept saying how cheap things are in America, so we took her to Costco. Two birds with one stone.

Please take a look at my hub for updates. Click the link below. hubpages.com The current position on this case; 10 February 2011 I have asked my MP Andy Love for help several months ago he has not even bothered to answer my e-mail I went to his surgery and spoke to his secretary and have returned every fortnight and have been fogged off every time I go with excuses like they have not had any reply yet from Costco's. But this matter should be dealt with accordingly by the human rights act. a company had breach the health and safety regulations and injured a woman fractured three vertebrae causing a mild brain injury and lost her job her husband had to close down his business to take care of her. The system in return decided that she did not have the mental capacity to decide whether the amount offered was sufficient, did not want any of her family to have a say in the matter, brought a court appointed solicitor to take over the matter and decided to except the offer and demanded that the injured party had to obtain a psychiatrist report in addition, to obtain a penny that was due to her, after they have decided what she deserved. At this stage the case has ended she is now on trial to produce a report on her present mental capacity, because we believe that we the claimant is not on trial and since the case is over and has all the reports from no less than five consultants not including the NHS. Why on earth does our society have to put an injured party true such punishment <b>...</b>
