    Ever notice that “wonderful” children are seldom happy?

    I’m one of two children. There are five extras (my step-siblings).

    Kids are like baseball. Two hits out of three at-bats is pretty damn good.

    Tom is a wise father. Maybe even he could leave Number Three by the side of the road in some remote rural area and drive off?

    Not to be confused with the Number Three here at GoComics that we all know and love…

    A classic Bud Collins remark. A camera was focused on John McEnroe’s dad when he decided to pick one. Collins’ remark was quick and to the point, ’Great backhand."

    I always enjoyed telling people I had three kids. …one of each.

    I was the first of six. Then my parents gave up all hope of ever having a normal child.

    Could someone give me a link to a REALLY good “Pearls Before Swine” strip? Not that this one isn’t funny. : )

    I work with kindergarten and first grade kids. Their fingers are always either down their pants or up their noses. Once a first grade boy stuck his hand in my face and told me to smell it.

    This was a Brian Regan joke. His line says that he has two wonderful kids…and another one

    I’ve made a decision to never have kids. I don’t want to hear one more person saying I’ll change my mind when I’m older.If they end up being right (which I very much doubt) I’ll give them credit.xxx

    I know the feeling – but which one is “not-so-wonderful” keeps changing.

    He forgot to tell that one about the little spring up there that, when you hit it, makes your eye fall out.

    As a man who grew up with ADHD, I was the black sheep of the family….

    ….and I still am. This touched a nerve, Mr. Pastis.
