I really do think you should take lori's suggestion and YouTube the ultrasound DVD so Tim can choose a twin. That one will have a better car seat.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

If I only had a brain...
You know children don't really develop consciences about things like using martial arts to kill their siblings when arguing over crayons until they're several years old, right? RIGHT?
Well, that would solve the which-one-is-cutest problem. Clearly it's the survivor.

Now I'm imagining a child raised by the Village People.
It isn't pretty.
But it is fabulous...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's what I'm bargaining on.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The trick is to raise enough on pay-per-view cage matches before then to pay for college.

That's what the seventies looked like.

Bev, not the ugly one. With a baby, it's too soon to tell... hence the ugly duckling story. It would have to be random selection.
Sometimes, I fear for my kids. First it's that I think of them as parasitic aliens, who currently have uncovered brains. Then I'm secretly fascinated that they not only communicate and play games in the womb, but they fight each other (according to the info in the National Geographic Special on Twins that's on next week). And then I find all of this morbidly funny.
