  Sore Nipples

  The female body is set up the way it is for a purpose. Most men do not want to think of it purposeful so much as it is playful. There is an endless amount of men who are now scarred from hearing of sore nipples and natural births.

  The Feasibility of Children’s Movie Plotlines

  Instead of dissecting a wonderful drama the conversation now revolves around why everyone in Shrek 2 didn’t realize it was Prince Charming. He grew up in Far Far Away. Would Fiona have known him too? Two hours of discussing Shrek as if it were the next Academy Award Winning Film can be a wake up call to any parent.

  Cartoons No one has ever heard of

  “You’re Next”

  It sounds like a curse or a dreaded disease. People with children are always waiting to pass the buck and put someone else in the sleep deprived state of having children.
