Stop It, I'm Full Already

This is really getting to be ridiculous. An Arkansas couple (Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar) has already had a Discovery series follow them around in their daily life because they had so many kids.

If the H.H. Gregg and/or Japan things don't work out, you should consider babysitting full-time. I would love to drop my future children off at Daywalt Daycare (catchy, I know) so they can learn life lessons like "Why You're A Burden To The Human Race."

I'm pretty sure I won't get approved for a daycare business license (if one is needed) due to a joke I made to a customer the other day that really, really, really offended her. How was I to know she was a hyper-sensitive social worker? If you want to hear the full story, just give me a call sometime.
