Whether or Not to Have Children
I got this in an e-mail today. Laughed my booty off!
To Know Whether or Not You Are Ready To Have Children
THE MESS TEST - Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.
THE TOY TEST - Obtain a 55 gallon box of Legos (or you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.
THE GROCERY STORE TEST - Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best)and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay foranything they eat or damage.
THE DRESSING TEST - Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.
THE FEEDING TEST - Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water.Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.
THE NIGHT TEST - Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00 pm begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 pm. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 pm. Get up, pick up your bag, and sing every song you have ever heard.Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 am. Set the alarm for 5:00 am. Get up and make breakfast.Keep this up for 5 years and look cheerful.
THE INGENUITY TEST - Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a ping-pong ball, and an empty box of cocoa puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.
THE AUTOMOBILE TEST - Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave itthere. Get a dime. Stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There....perfect.
THE PHYSICAL TEST (Women) - Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 1/2 of the beans. Leave it on for the rest of your life.
THE FINANCIAL TEST (Men) - Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest foodstore. Go to the head office and arrange for you paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home and read it quietly for the last time.
THE FINAL ASSIGNMENT - Find a couple who already has a small child. Lecturethem on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.

I've seen this one many times before, and it's just as funny this time around. Thanks for the laugh. - Julie M.
I'll never forget it, new van, one week off of the showroom floor, and one of the kids left an open candy bar on the back seat in the middle of July...enough said.
Funny stuff.
