I refer to my naps as 'small sleeps' because they usually last 2-3 hours. Naps make me happy.

hail to the naptime valiant

my last 3 years of school I was a commuter and I would have given ANYTHING for a nap pod. 2 classes that went from 9-12, and then having to stay on campus until my 3rd class started at 5, and oh god NO I didn't want to drive 30 minutes home and 30 minutes back for a nap.

I told my son that we had his sister instead of getting a puppy because we didn't want to pay a pet deposit. It wasn't until years later that he realized we were kidding.

My son was six when I had my daughter. Thankfully, he'd watched my cousin go through three pregnancies, so he was well aware of what the end result was. When I told him I was pregnant, he didn't even look up from his cars.

He is too cute.

The real winner is that cute baby Amaya shes such a cute little dumpling. But she will be "exasperated" once the new baby is here because she will then be the middle child :(

That is one seriously bright and utterly adorable child. That is all.

I wish I could get this kid together with my 6 year old. Their conversations would be hilarious. Tonight I warned him to walk around a hole so he doesn't trip and he tells me "I know that hole. I've been in that hole." like it was a story from Vietnam or something. 5 and 6 year olds are just the best.

He sounds like a mini Bill Crosby. Down to the head shake and all.

I think you may be me. I did the very same thing, even down to hiding in the corner. Right behind a rocking chair my grandmother was in. My first memories of much-unwanted brother are of getting rhythmically thwacked in the head by a chair.

This child is truly the best. So damn smart—it makes me want to stick around and watch him grow up. He's adorable and passionate but also logical. Such a win.

I was the same with my brother. It took years for me to get over the fact he was permanent. All I wanted was a puppy!

What I like is that he cites empirical evidence! LOL

Poor dear, he thinks he's going to get replaced. I'm so grateful my only younger sibling was born when I was not quite 2, so I had no idea what a sibling meant and was only excited because there was a tiny baby in my house.

"Boy's crying is even worse....buy me some earplugs." LMAO. CHILD, YES, I UNDERSTAND YOU COMPLETELY.

I was like this kid when my mom finally told me, long after she told everyone else in my entire extended family, that she was pregnant with my sister. I was NOT HAPPY. I was even less happy when she was born, though. I cried in the corner of the hospital room.

Also, it's 3 kids. Like, that's not that many. And judging by how the two older ones are spaced out, yes, she is familiar with birth control.

I learned "exasperated" early too, from the Ramona Quimby books.

Can I just issue a pre-emptive hope that Jez can avoid all the horrible "Hasn't this woman ever heard of birth control?" and similar comments that the Gawker version was inundated with? Beyond the fact that this woman's reproductive choices are none of your fucking business, honest to god, some people have children on…
