Before First Child: “There will never be a television in our home.”

Before First Child: “I shall carry my child abreast, as close to my bosom as possible using one of those bosom-hugging baby carrier things.”
After Third Child: “Yeah no. I’d sooner duct tape the kid to my thigh because there is no way to look cool wearing a bosom-ANYTHING if you’re a man so don’t even chance it, sport.”
