Um. Yeah.

You ain't ready for anything requiring more attention than a cat.

Or um. Dead goldfish.

Begging the obvious question of "Why don't you just close the window?"

It's been hotter than the inside of a goddamned cow, Wad, every day that's not unbearably hot, you NEED to open a window. You live near here, you know this.

Broad, your own kids are different. You wouldn't go off and pass out drunk in the kitchen while yours were playing outside.

One of my good friends from high school wants kids, but she had trouble with a bird because it would start sqwaking whenever she left the room. Made her boyfriend (now husband) take it back to the store after a week. My immediate thought was that she'd never make it as a parent.

And, in a move almost proving that theory, she recently told me that she wants kids, just not pregnancy, and not the first 2 years. So she's looking for a 3-year-old to adopt. Ack.

Oh I know what you mean... there are these kids in my community that have been blowing off fireworks EVERY NIGHT since June 30th- and they are still going strong. Of course, the cats start freaking out, jumping on me and I am just trying to relax, as 4:30 am comes very quickly lately.

I won't go into the sneaky little thief that stole all the bulbs out of our Christmas lights last year.....

I CANNOT stand the sound of a child's wail, either. High-pitched, horrible, wailing. Sooo obnoxios!
