I can't stop laughing at this: Hello Stranger On The Street, Could You Please Tell Me How To Take Car Of My Baby? I find myself going back and reading it again about every 12 hours, and each time I find something else funnier than the last time I read it.
I took the kids to my parents' house last night and read it to my mom, who laughed throughout the whole thing. Then she told me that when my brother and I were babies, we were both so cute (Ed. note: eyeroll) that strangers were always coming up to us and touching our faces or pinching our cheeks. My mom got sick of it, so when she'd take us out in public she'd smear jam or jelly all over our faces so nosy touchy strangers would recoil and give her a disapproving look instead of touching us.
Ha!
It pains me that I never got to meet your mom while we were living one borough apart.

Your mom is a genius.
The twin dad thing is fabulous.

"Hello Stranger on the Street.." is some damn funny shizz. "Am I still pregnant after the baby came out?" ;) Thank you!

This is the greatest thing I've read in a while (as the parent of an 11 day old baby boy, I look forward to getting all the unsolicited advice all over again).

Tell your mother I smile when I think of her.

Oh and and then you must read "WHAT TO EXPECT: THE THIRD DECADE." while you're there.

Some lady at mcdonalds told me that I should take my car seat off the table and put my 12 week old in a high chair. Uhhhh...no thanks. This ain't my first rodeo lady. I know how to keep my kids safe. I HATE unsolicited advice.

"When is it ok for him to go upside down in the carseat?" might be my favorite.
And I think I'm going to start answering questions about where my baby sleeps with "In the toaster."
