Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 19, 2022

Just a matter of time until they start with baby’s first poo parties.

Gender reveal is an un-PC term. A person can have a gender that doesn’t match their genitals.

It’s not a real gender reveal party unless he sets his house on fire. Or the neighborhood.

True story.Woman gives birth.Nurse: What is it? Man: A baby.Midwife: Is it a boy or a girl.Man (thinking): Who cares, got all its limbs, it is breathing and seems generally healthy.

Sounds like Bob is the kind of parent who calls his baby’s bowel movements “presents.”

In my day we didn’t have gender reveal parties. The reveal happened when the baby was born.

“Before the whole world became one big self-congratulatory extravaganza.” Yeah, that about sums it up.

Sex! Sex! What sex is it?

I don’t get why they have gender reveal parties. They can simply tell people what the baby will be.

Rat, you are NO fun. Keep your misery to yourself, please.

I’m with Rat about those things.

When rat populations get too large (real rats that is) the rats get testy and aggressive. I think there’s a moral there.

I’m with Rat on this one. Gender reveal parties are just idiotic. Especially with those who plan to change the child’s gender if it’s not what they want.

Remember normal – when we used to say boy or girl, not male?

Agree with rat here.

And don’t set the neighborhood on fire
