Kittens, better than babies? Hah! Here now are the top ELEVEN reasons why
babies are better than kittens (and, as any five-year-old will tell you, more
reasons makes my list better. Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!)

11) Babies are rarely known to shed on furniture.

10) No ones allergic to a baby.

9) Having a kitten in the car doesnt let you drive in the carpool lane.

8) An exercise program you can really stick with… that you HAVE to stick
with, whether you like it or not…

7) With a kitten, you dont get to watch otherwise normal adults making
silly faces, jumping up and down, talking nonsense in a high pitched voice,
and generally making fools of themselves. Hours of fun!

6) For an initial investment of a camera and few pieces of film, you can
convince babys grandparents to buy the kid all the cute but expensive
clothes, toys, furniture, and major appliances s/he will ever need–a good
photographer can buy nothing but diapers for a year. Cats never buy their
grandkittens anything.

5) Babies dont have fleas. Babies dont give YOU fleas.

4) Free pregnancy/labor horror story with each baby. Commensurate with other
mothers! Scare newly-pregnant friends! Get your husband to do twice the
housework for months!

3) Two words: Tax deduction

2) Childbirth–the greatest crash diet ever! Lose 20 pounds in one day–
and keep it off, too!

And the number one reason babies are better than kittens:

1) Kittens never grow up to look at you and say I love you, Daddy.
