It isn't pretty.
But it is fabulous...

[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.

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

Assless chaps? *Not* a good look before potty training.

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.

Pretty much. And you're feeding them oxygen. The good part is that they rarely burst out through your chest.

And it all starts in utero. Maybe Allyson and Lori are right. We should think of them right now as having a cage match, ultrasound it and then sell tickets on pay-per-view.

Note the use of the word "rarely."
