Instant Kid

Well, today we got a kid. Don't get your hopes up. It's not what you think.

So the story goes I was on my way home from teaching dance and I was listening to talk radio, mistake #1.

The talk show host was talking about his wife wanting to put "we prefer gift cards to Target or Best Buy instead of gifts" on their 10 year old kid's birthday party invitation.

It outraged me.

So I called in, mistake #2.

I got a busy signal, but I kept calling until I got through, mistake #3.

I finally got through, I was on the air and I was telling the host how tacky that was and how kids these days are spoiled and need to be taught lessons and yada yada yada and then the host says "So how many kids to you have"?

I say "Not many" mistake #4.

Then he says "Not many? How many is that?" and I say "Just one", mistake #5 and a whopping #5 it is.

So ladies and gentlemen, at the risk of having my point not be validated (by admitting that I was outraged and don't even have kids) I lied.

And we instantly got a kid.

Just one though.
