Having a baby does many things to your life. It ruins your sleep schedule, makes you long for the days when you could take the dogs out without being a big affair, and it allows you to have a whole new view on the world. Today I thought I would share part of my newly acquired view.
I now know that there are two types of people in the world. Those who can laugh at stories about children because they have had a very similar, and yet completely different experience- and those who laugh at those people. I used to be the latter. Before we had Britanny I always found myself chuckling a little when I heard my friend's "funny" baby stories. Its not that I didn't find these stories funny. Its just that I found the idea of finding baby stories amusing odd. It was beyond me that poop stories could actually be considered funny- and so I laughed at the people that actually enjoyed these tales.
Its been 3 months since we have crossed the fence- I can now proudly say that I honestly laugh every time Britanny farts at an awkward time, and that I find similar stories equally entertaining. Don't get me wrong, I love my baby. But she has made it perfectly clear to me that children are God's natural comedians. They just know how to make you smile. So after 3 months of "parenting" (or as I like to call it "experimenting on Britanny for the benefit of our future children and their upbringing") I thought I would share some of my newly acquired baby stories. And don't worry if you are now the person chuckling at me: I have two things to say. The first is that I am not offended. The second: don't worry, one day you too will join me on the dark side.
