rub the belly for luck

I thought my reaction to this ad was kind of funny:


It's advertising lotions for different stages of life: pregnancy and motherhood, first signs of aging, and post-menopause. My first reaction: Oh, they got the first two out of order!

Who these days has pregnancy and motherhood before "first signs of aging"?

The lovely Hildy, the mother of my children and all round good egg, had the misfortune of going grey at the tender age of 16. This is almost a whole decade before the birth of our first child. Grey hair is a sign of aging, isn't it? Not that a skin cream would help much with that.

Yes, your wife was a freaky-hot pregnant almost-teenager. Any recent family photos?

Actually, she was a teenager -- though she was 20 by the time Devon was born.

Recent family photos? Nothing formal. And Sarah is a bit... big right now, if you didn't already know. She's due May 13th. It's a girl this time.

The majority of the people who hear that we're having a girl say "oh, the perfect family! One of each." Apparently the perfect family symmetrical. Apparently, as an only child, my family was not perfect.

A family where even person loves each other, be it a mom, dad, and one son, or one daughter, or two sons, or two dads, or two moms, or one mom, or one dad -- whatever, that doesn't matter. But, have a mom, dad, son, and daughter -- it doesn't matter if that pappy is knocking the kids room to room -- that family friggin' perfect.

Sorry. < / rant >
