WONDERMOM'S SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS
|
||||||
|
|
Most of us went through Lamaze or some such class to
prepare us for the marvel of birth. Dontcha think it would be more useful to have classes that prepared us
for the real pangs of raising children? I think I'm going to start my own
school. There's a need for this! I'll start by offering the following
classes, taught by seasoned mothers with years of experience. After graduation, we offer a 24/7 helpline to call in case
you start to cave. And at no extra charge, we will send someone over to slap
you until you have regained your senses. Source: http://www.quirkee.com/content/blogcategory/118/314/10/10/ |
