Birth classes shmirth classes

If you refer to an earlier post (I'm not really sure which one) you'll know that we went to parenting classes. I don't think we remember a damn thing from them. If they wanted these classes to properly prepare you for being a parent I propose the following list:

- grab a bag of cement, hold it for 4 hours - while a wombat wails in your ear (I don't really know what a wombat sounds like, but I'm pretty sure they would have a high pitched annoying wail)
- attempt to dump the small formula cup into the only slightly less-small bottle opening - while holding a squirming puppy - while a wombat wails in your ear
- take a stroller and maneuver it through a minefield without waking the baby inside
- take a garden hose and attempt to block the stream of water with your hand (for those with boys)
- take one of the wet naps you get when you eat ribs and try to clean the sauce off the ribs (for the advanced class you'll attempt this while blocking the garden hose at the same time - the 400 level simultaneously includes the wombat)

That might get you slightly more prepared . . . but I doubt it
