For some reason, NO ONE ever asks me, "so when
are you going to have kids?", even back when I use to do the whole
'relationship junk'. I am not sure whether I should take that
personally or not, but either way, I wanted to give my unsolicited 2¢ on the
matter. My mom has uttered those famous words in the past....I think many of us have heard them, "I hope when you have kids, they turn out to be just like you." At the time, spinning around in circles in the mud screaming at the top of my lungs, I thought that was the utmost of compliments, but in hindsight, I think maybe the comment was intended to be a negative one. The whole "kids" topic is a very frightful one to me, mainly because I don't want to have to share my toys with anyone, but I ran across a solution..... About 3:30 in the morning, as I was drifting in and out of sleep, I caught the tail end of an infomercial that actually had a marketable product that I could personally see benefit in. It was an infomercial advertising a service where you could send your kids to 3rd world countries and pay less than a dollar a month to feed them. It was something like 48¢ a month, but I didn't catch whether that covered postage and handling or not. You send them over, you pay your 48¢, and they send you a postcard every once in awhile.....which stamps alone are 37¢, so it didn't sound like a half bad idea. There might be a 'catch' to it, but what do you have to lose? Worse case scenario, if it is a scam, you get rid of your kids for a month or two until the BBB steps in and overnights them back to you. On that note, I am currently accepting donations for the "Give DouG a Vasectomy Foundation" .....it's a good cause, and you know you are making the world a better place with every donation. |
