I’d like to start this post by saying how much I appreciate people who want to be parents. You see, to me, parenthood is something like being a doctor, police officer, or waste disposal technician (or perhaps a bit of all three). I have a lot of respect for people who choose to be parents.

We have a special appliance in our house. A special appliance that really helps relieve stress. We use it in the mornings as well as the evenings. It really helps us relax. We’ve heard it refered to by a number of different sexy names, including Hotpoint, and Equator. We hear they even come in designer colours! But ours is a very simple model, and we refer to it simply as our “marital aid.”
