WARNING: You Are Experiencing Children
Monday, May 3, 2010 at 7:51AM Most mornings I watch the Today Show in the a.m. Not sure why, but I do.
The other day I’m metro-sexually ironing my clothes, watching the Today Show while thinking to myself, “damn they have a ton of drug commercials on here.”
Naturally…this led me to wonder, “wouldn’t it have been great if my little bastards were born with a warning label like those seen on drug commercials?
All parents would have to agree– hell yes it would. Here’s how my kids’ labels would have read…
(Background image – perfect family, wearing J. Crew clothes, beautiful kids running around an immaculate yard, very clean dog leaping around playfully with the children who are getting along gleefully as the parents enjoy wine in peace, while wearing stylish clothes, and sporting huge smiles because they know they’ll have intense, uninterrupted sex later that night)
Meanwhile, the following is being read by some out-of-work, douchebag ex-dj announcer guy:
“Children are not for everyone. Children may cause you to want to harm mass groups of people for no apparent reason. While pregnant with children you may notice a very drastic impact to your sexual relationship causing you to spend more time than normal naked, in a corner, crying and rocking back-and-forth.
While “making” children you will enjoy yourself. This will be the last “enjoyment” of your life.
If living with children you experience excessive drinking, yelling, kicking of inanimate objects, mumbling to one’s self, hatred of Caillou, hallucinations of Barney taking shots with Big Bird, or the increased love of silence, please consult a doctor.
Those experiencing children should stay away from those without children as it will help increase their unrealistic belief children are great.
Children may cause you to lose excessive amounts of sleep, eat while standing, repeat yourself excessively, and create intricate lies as to why you “must go to the store alone, RIGHT NOW!”
Children are evil.
You will eventually label your children as “cock-blocks.”
While living with children you may puke, experience diarrhea, always have a runny nose, buy stock in hand sanitizer, contemplate muzzles, experiment with shock-collars, and find yourself repetitively walking into walls.
If you find boogers, dried food, spilt milk, un-flushed toilets, skid-marks on underwear, and sheets being used as Kleenex in your house then you are currently experiencing children.
Children can kill you.
(End with the kids quietly building a fort out of rubber blocks while the parents continue to kiss, hug, sip their wine and retire to the bedroom knowing Susie and Mark are safe to play on their own.)

Nicde job daddy. Pat yourself on the back. Now take your hand, make a fist and punch yourself in the crotch. Just do it. I laughed so hard I peed a little in my panties (**side effect from pushing children out of my vagina.)
Oh My God. YES!
It should also be noted that while symptoms are generally irreversible they may fade over time and will leave only moderate scarring.
This is great. I'm sure after "children" they'll come out with another drug for "when children is simply not enough" this drug would be a Sweed exchange student living in your basement or a mix of othe anti-depressants. Of course the Sweed would have a whole list of side effects such as divorce, mad screaming and throwing objects by your spouse, and of course the chance for more children.
Boy, gets a little grim at the end there:) I think if you were telling this at a party we would all laugh uncomfortably at horrible truths and not make eye contact.

bwahahahahaha. I think they should give that warning out....maybe less people would breed.
Classic.
if you can make the label smaller, like small enough to fit on a newborns head I think you're on to something :)
