Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

"Don' be e-scared"
I have this fantasy that Kat and Lori run into self-involved actress and take those two kids, too. Kat uses her knitting needles to make a point and Lori sets up the Mars arm thing to keep SAG member pinned while the two kids are rescued.

If I only had a brain...
We have been known to say loudly in front of ours, "Do we really need TWO children?" Then they start bargaining over which one goes. Lately my son points out that our daughter is already written out of the will, and besides she's going to need college money soon.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
This would make a funny, wacky Drive plot line.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is brilliant. They should definitely use that strategy for something.

Tim, if I spent all of my time rescuing children from self-involved adults, let alone self-involved holllywood types, it would be a full time superhero job. It might even have a terrible pay rate and be called something like "teacher." But it's a good fantasy nevertheless.
Lori has been saying that with twins we are single-fault tolerant and one is a flight hardware and the other is flight-spare.

And, allyson thinks of the twins a hekyll and jekyll (is that spelled correctly?) and I can foresee a halloween when ita makes them dress up as Thing 1 and Thing 2.
It might be a hard thing to be a twin in our social world.

Snerk. But that's terrible! It means that one of them is stuck staying on Earth!

It's good to have an engineer in the house.
Especially one that can build you the extra arms you'll need for twins.
