I'd take my pets anyday, over some screaming, vomit-spewing shitsack.
My cousin hatched her new loaf 3 weeks ago. I made the obligatory phone call last weekend - MISTAKE. She answers the phone while holding the kid. Of course hubby was off doing "his" thing - no surprise. And he travels a lot with work, he didn't want the kid until he got this new position where he is traveling - how convenient for him.
Anyway, 10 seconds into the phone call, the little fucker starts wailing. I said, "OK, well, sounds like you've got your hands full. I'll talk to you later." She said "OK, well, call me in a few days and maybe I'll have some peace and can talk." I said, "Why don't you call ME when you have some time." Yea, talk to ya in about 20 years. Sucks to be her.
