"Now Suzie had the sniffles last night, so if she complains about not feeling well, it's ok for her to call me and I'll come pick her up. And make sure she wears her hat until she gets to school. And there's this other girl that she sits near that Suzie says smells funny... can you move her? But please don't move her too close to the front or she'll get chilled every time you open the door..." There are many parents who think that every person who provides a service to their child is a part of their own personal staff of employees.

I know you think they are special, I'm aware of that, I'm just trying to tell you- they are not. Did you know that every time a guy comes, he comes 200 million sperm? Did you know that? And you mean to tell me you think your child is special? Because one out of 200 million sperm connected . . . that load? Gee, what are the fucking odds? Do you know what that means? I have wiped entire civilizations off of my chest, with a grey gym sock. That is special. Entire nations have flaked and crusted in the hair around my navel. That is special. And I want you to think about that, you two-egg-carrying beings out there with that holier-than-thou, we-have-the-gift-of-life attitude. I have tossed universes, in my underpants, whilst napping. That is special." As the great Bill Hicks said;
