People ask me what i'd do if i ever had children that turned out to be rags. They always seem shocked when i say that i wouldn't take them, as if i'm saying something awful. Nobody seems to realise it's for the benefit of the child.
I also get a bad reaction when i say "put it in a bag and sail it down the river".
My cousin had a son last December, she's a City season ticket holder, her husband loves football but doesn't really follow anyone, just hates United and his mum (the childs grandmother) is a massive red. They took their son round to Granny's to babysit in a City babygrow, when they went back he was in a United babygrow. They told her if she ever did that again she would no longer be alllowed to babysit, and they were serious. That's top parenting.
