Gosh, Jeff, sorry I've inconvenienced you by having kids.  Really, it would
probably be better if the human race just stopped with the present generation,
right?  (Of course, there would be terrible unemployment in the diaper and
baby food industries.)  But seriously, I'm not completely satisfied with the
level of support you've provided.  It's true, we parents sock you with taxes
to support public education (when you'd really prefer to leave 'em all
uneducated) and we get rich on our tax deductions (notice how all us parents
are buying luxury cars while the poor singles are hanging onto their 10-
year-old wrecks because they can't afford a new car?).  But, really, Jeff,
when are you going to come over and watch the kids for a few hours so we
can go out to the movies?
