On Being Useful


Tonight Matt looked down at the cat sitting peacefully on his chest and said:

"Quincy, I wish we could teach you how to be useful. It sure would be helpful if you could hold my beer."

I hope this isn't any indication of what "useful" things he might someday try to teach our children.

  1. children are more useful for fetching things, throwing things away & waking daddies up. they're also very good at emptying the dishwasher if you don't mind things being put in random places.

  3. Dude, the only reason I had kids in the first place was the dishwasher loading perks. I was mistaken.

  4. You mean kids aren't as useful as I'm planning? That's disappointing to hear from all you parents.

    I mean, Quincy can never balance the checkbook right, but I thought at least real children could handle it.
