Ke$ha: I wear my placenta

11 Mar

She’s made a name for herself with her catchy pop tune ‘Tik Tok’ and her love of partying, but chart sensation Ke$ha is keen to point out she’s a very spiritual person too. The singer says, “I’m into energy. I recently went to see a past-life regressionist who is also a psychic. I wear my placenta around my neck every day because it’s supposed to give you second sight. I feel like I’ve had many lifetimes before.”


But Ke$ha admits her reputation as a party girl is accurate too. “I’m a walking good time. Do I sometimes go out and drink? Hell, yes! But could I have a number one song if I wasn’t also working hard? Maybe that needs a little more respect.”

Over the Teacups

My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?

I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone

Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry

My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
