As we stood in the middle of a huge community Christmas event, surrounded by wailing and shrieking children.
Caolinn: “I don’t like these sounds. Mom…I’m tying my tubes.”
Me: “There are just so many of them.”
Caolinn: “Seriously, look at that woman, she has like six kids under six.”
Me: “Maybe instead of passing out candy canes, they need to be passing out condoms.”
Caolinn: “Too far, Mom.”
Fisticuffs and Shenanigans 
Ha! When my son was little we lived in Mesa. Due to religious orientation there, I was one of the only mothers with one child. They used to tell me it was rather like child abuse to have only one. I fought the urge to respond by asking how much attention Thing One and Thing Two got in comparison to Thing Eight.
Seriously, they breed like gerbils out that way. It’s like Ireland in the…well…always.
Candy canes *and*condoms. That’s the answer.
Candy cane flavored condoms!!! I’m a genius!!!
Wait, why would they need to be flavored?
Oh … never mind!
*draws picture*
I’ll invest in that
Oliver is in! All we need is some R&D and we’re there!
Deck the halls with boughs of folly. 🙂
🙂 Something something something..figgy pudding something!
I always wondered about figgy pudding. 🙂
We all did, Homie…we all did.
I would say you didn’t go far enough. If you want kids you should have to pass a test and get a license. Oh man, when I bacome the Supreme Khan of North America, shit will get done!
Ugh, I will TOTALLY vote for you, too. Although licensing will make my job obsolete.
It will take some time for this kind of manufactured evolution to saturate the population. When that happens I’ll find you a job cutting hair or gardening or whatever retired teachers do. Maybe prison gaurd?
You’re right…I’ll be cool for the next twenty, which should get me into retirement, and then I can take a Uni position.
I would compliment your daughter’s wisdom again, but are grand children a thing you are hoping for?
I think I said the same thing at her age…and then had three kids by 28. I have hope. Also, I think Xavier will knock out at least 4. He’s a traditionalist. 🙂
I thought you meant that Caolinn had too many tubes. You lost me for just a second there, Meg. I was out in Fa-la-la land.
Too much eggnog, Mark!
😮
As funny as that is, I literally LOL’d and nearly peed myself when I saw that meme.
Excuse me, I’m just going to the bathroom. BRB.
I don’t even have a cat, and I love that one. 🙂 Glad you liked it!
LOL… but tying her tubes isn’t? Jeez, where did she get her standards? XD
She must have a weird mother. *cough*
nah; this is *other* influences. You suggested condoms and she thought it too far, but tying the ol’ tubes is perfectly acceptable. I sense school friends and adolescence actually 😀
