<p>I’m surprised they didn’t blame the mother…</p>

<p>Too funny; thanks for posting</p>

<p>Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse</p>

<p>They **** you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.</p>

<p>But they were ****ed up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.</p>

<p>Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.</p>

<p>ST, I sent that article to about 8 people as soon as I saw it. So funny.</p>

<p>Well, that’s a relief. It’s not my fault after all. (Whatever “it” is.)</p>

<p>What?! There must be some mistake! Surely we can manipulate the genes (haven’t we already cracked the DNA code?) to produce perfectly happy offspring! I mean, what’s this country coming to?! Why it’s, it’s Un-American to not be able to positively affect something…isn’t it?!</p>

<p>Sob, sob…nature is such a b*+#h!</p>

<p>I love the Onion. I frequently wondered as going from stage to stage with my kids whether “this” was the event that would permanently screw them up for life. It turns out, yes, they ALL were!</p>

<p>Well, duh. And who didn’t know that???</p>

<p>SCM–nope. As I read it, whatever you did, it’s your fault. :)</p>

<p><em>phew</em></p>

<p>Very funny thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>Great article!</p>

<p>You gott’a love The Onion. My all time Onion fave:</p>
