September 30, 2009

You know how your mom always tells you, “You’ll know when you have kids someday,” whenever you do something annoying/lifeshattering to her?  My mom did the same thing when I was little.  And now, it’s coming back to haunt me.  Except, we don’t even have kids yet.  We don’t plan to have them for a couple (light)years, but they are already worrying the hell out of us. “What should we name our 2.33 kids*,” I begin to play the dangerous ...
