No more babies.



I don't know what is in the water over here in the Capitol Hill press gallery - but everyone seems to be breeding.
Ok that's fine, yes the picture of your child is adorable.
That.is.where.it.ends.
I do not what to hear about the following:
* Cute new habits like learning now to remove their clothing.
* Anything that goes in or comes out of their bodies.
* ANYTHING having to do with child birth.
*The phrase, "Oh my first did that..." because it always leads to another story about someone's baby.
*Childless people chiming in "When my niece was 2 ..." Not only does this conversation suck but you don't even have children so stop talking about them.

I went into a profession is historically destructive to the traditional family set to avoid such discussion, so please keep your discussions of "Bobby's favorite night light" and "Jenny's fear of cats" to yourselves.

Naming babies: NZ says, "No time to be slack!"

From the BBC News, a New Zealand couple has decided to name their newborn baby "Superman" because the country's registrar of births, deaths and marriages rejected their original name choice, "4Real". In a cloak of tightness, NZ law states
first names starting with a number are not allowed.... The law also advises parents to avoid names that could cause their child to be teased or made fun of.
And, unofficially, the law states parents should avoid names that could also be used as license plates. But why "4Real"?
Mum and Dad decided to call their son 4Real after seeing an ultrasound image of him. It was then they realised that their baby was "for real".
Wow. I wonder when the parents will realize that raising a baby is 4REAL.
