As most of my friends are aware, I believe that babies are hideous monstrosities--parasites designed to disfigure us and drain our finances. Sadly, not all people share this opinion.
My little sister, for one, thinks that babies are adorable and ought to be cooed at whenever possible. She's racked up a tidy sum babysitting over the years, most recently by watching our cousin's offspring. The oldest child in that household, Blake, returns her affections and sometimes demands to see her if his parents have not been out of the house enough lately. Tonight was one of those nights. When Ericka showed up, Blake demonstrated his enthusiasm by charging headfirst into a wall (closely followed by an encore of heavy bleeding).That is the story of how Ericka spent three hours in the hospital tonight, and that just goes to show what babies get you.
If you must know, Blake is fine, Ericka is fine, everybody's fine.
Damn kids, get off my lawn.
