rants

If I hear "dads and grads" one more time in the next week, I swear I'm going to break something. It's just one of those cutsey sayings that drives me nuts.

I'll set the stage for you - it's been ages since you've had some time alone with your significant other so you decide to head on down to the Marquee Cinema on 37 and catch the hot new flick. As you're waiting for the movie to start, you see someone walk in with a stroller and a baby...uh-oh...
