When my grandson was a baby still in a carriage my granddaughter when we were out for a walk would reach over and cup her little hand over his mouth and nose whenever a big truck or bus went past us. I agree that more people should be wearing rubbers in personal situations. But now that my two grandchildren are already here I'm glad my daughter's boyfriend was cheap and my daughter didn't use her head.

Thank God I was born a woman. If I had been a man, I would have married every woman I ever feel in love with and I'd still be paying child support.
