Rod Stewart: I’m not having any more kids!
He’s about to become an octo-dad but aging rocker Rod Stewart swears this is his last child. The 65-year-old recently announced that he and wife Penny Lancaster (39) are expecting their second child together and while he’s delighted about the news, that’s it!
Rod, who has had six children from four previous relationships, including with Alistair (4) with Penny, says “I’m very happy but it will be the last. I can’t have any more kids, otherwise I’ll be touring until I’m 90!”
Although he doesn't yet know the sex of the baby, the ‘Maggie May’ singer says if it’s a boy, he’ll give him a Celtic name and he also promises fans that his new tot will make stage apperances. “I might bring them out on stage once or twice,” says Rod. “I wouldn’t want to exploit him or her though. It’s good for kids to see where their daddy works.”

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.”
