     Well, yeah, it's nice to see your kids being fed when they need it, and 
it's nice feeding them too. (Of course, it's not so nice with the changing, 
heh).

       I totally understand him. He'll think differently when they get older 
though.

   Well, that's down to you my friend. At the end of the day, it's what you 
want *out* of life.

Hehe ... actually kids annoyed me, then we had one.

He gets on my nerves sometimes, but for the most part he's pretty neat. 
I'll just be glad when he reaches the "communicate with real words" 
stage instead of the "standing in front of you pitching an epic fit" 
stage he's in now.

Uh oh... Not good.

Hopefully he steps up and does the right thing in regards to taking care 
of a child. They're a lot of hard work.

All of the nice girls will probably be gone by then ;-)

Yep. Pretty much. My favorite is the "point in some vague direction and 
grunt. When parent offers item from vague direction, emphatically shake 
you head no"

     Made (hopefully) easier by Dad.

    Thing is, he's only known her about 3 months, and they're SOOOO in 
luuuurve, and now they're talking marriage.

    Definately not good.

LOL! What a glowing recommendation! :-D

I remember when one of the girls at work brought her twin baby boys in 
to work. For some reason, one of them always cries, and the other one is 
always completely laid back and quiet. And, unexplicably, as soon as I 
walked into the room, both of them were like radar dishes tracking me 
across the room. They were both *fascinated* by me.

I have several theories:

1. They were wondering who the **** that weird person was.

2. I am unbelievably attractive.

3. My ultramarine shirt was the only thing in the room loud enough for 
their tiny eyeballs to actually detect consistently.

Hahahaha... ooohhhh if only you knew! ;-)

I made the mistake of saying "hello" to one of the kids next door. Now 
the sucker won't leave me alone! Every time he sees me, he comes over 
and starts talking at me. It doesn't matter if I talk back or completely 
ignore him, he just keeps talking and talking and talking and...
