As the cashier gave a knowing look to my wife as she scanned the prenatal vitamins, I realized this random girl is the first person on earth to know we are having a baby.

The nerve...
After the doctor told me, "It's a girl," my never-married mother looked into my bundle of joy's eyes and said, "Maybe you will break the cycle and get married first before having a child."

When I looked in the cot and saw you both snuggled up together in a perfect cuddle, I realised that the bloody cat had been tolerating me until you were born.

When my daughter was a baby I changed her dirty diaper in the car and then went into a home improvement store and while I was standing at the cutomer service desk I looked down I had a little ball of poop stuck on the front of my jeans.
