Thinking about more children? Read this...
Last post for tonight...
This came from a friend.
HOW TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE READY TO HAVE CHILDREN>>
MESS TEST> Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
TOY TEST> Obtain a 55-gallon box of LEGOs (or you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.
GROCERY S TORE TEST> Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.>> DRESSING TEST> Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.
FEEDING TEST> Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
NIGHT TEST> Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00 p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever>heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 a. m. Set alarm for 5:00 a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.
INGENUITY TEST> Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it>into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a Ping-Pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.
AUTOMOBILE TEST>Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car There, perfect.
PHYSICAL TEST (Women)> Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans.
PHYSICAL TEST (Men)> Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the>clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to>the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.
FINAL ASSIGNMENT> Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.

FUNNY!!! Too cute. So really for you wanting number 4 you don't bat an eyelash at any of this right. Yeah every newly married wanting to have a baby right away should do this, HAHA. But although we know all of this is true and that is why we laugh at it at the same time there are so many wonderful little things that make it all worth it. Like them looking in your eyes and smiling the first time, or holding your hand, or the first day they tell you they love you, or those late night and early morning snuggles, or the opportunity to see the world all over again with fresh eyes...where everything is once again exciting and wonderful.
Fun Post. I really enjoyed it. Well, off to go trip over some legos.
Hugs...hope you are packing.
I laughed till I cried! Thanks for giving me a great laugh to bring Mothers Day 2006 to a close!
Loved the "Night Test" one! I'm still getting up with Ava 2 to 3 times a night and she's almost 6 months old.
