I’m fond of telling people that having children caused me brain damage. And when I say “fond,” I mean that I’m forced to confess this to people after humiliating moments of raging stupidity brought about by having birthed said children.

Taking Drugs To Deal With The Kids
Allergy season is in high gear and from what I understand, it’s pretty bad this year.

Cleaning? What’s That?
If you go to the house of someone who has just had a baby, odds are the house will be a disaster. If it isn’t, it’s because the new parents either can afford a cleaning service, or have enslaved one of their mothers, who is too busy being thrilled that she is finally a grandmother [...]
