The proof
By Pierre | Filed under Family, Français, Little People, Videos | Leave a comment
Looking at the pictures of Max and Manu from 2 days ago, some readers found them curiously similar - more than brother and sister should be - and they started to wonder if the whole “twins” thing wasn’t just a scam, if we hadn’t made it all up and photoshopped two siblings out of a single image from some obscure reason, like a double ration of food-stamps or something.
Merritt and I could not stand this abject suspicion anymore. So, taking the risk of incubator cross-contamination, we instructed the nurses to place Manu in Max’s fishbowl. It’s the first time they meet, so you people of little faith, watch this video. This is the proof!

How to ship a baby
By Pierre | Filed under Little People, Videos | 6 comments
Every year, millions of babies are shipped across continents. Of course, most originate from Third World countries and end up in the hands of rich western couples such as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but nobody ever asked the question: “How are they shipped?”
Indeed babies aren’t like any other merchandise - each one is unique - and a very high level of care is required in the shipping. The sheer number to process, though, required the training of highly specialized workers: the Baby Wrappers. After months of practice, each one becomes able to process a baby in less than 30 seconds. Look at this demonstration (Max volunteered to play the baby):

No smoking
By Pierre | Filed under Français, Little People | 7 comments
Today my mom told me not to smoke near the kiddos. I inquired why and she told me that it’s bad for them. I promised her we would not burn incense in the incubators nor light up a barbecue in the Intensive Care Unit (yes, it’s all true). I also transmitted her request to the nurses. “No problem with tobacco”, they said, “but for pot, it’s more annoying, it really calms them down”.
So here is our new poll…
And now, here is a little video for my mommy (I’m not sure anybody else will be interested)… Look, mom, I’m doing something that you have probably never done in your life: changing the diapers on a little girl. It’s very cute.

They’ll pay for it one day
By Pierre | Filed under Français, Little People | 359 comments
$10,475 for the basic procedure…
$3,500 for the meds…
$250 for a test here…
$400 for a test there…
and on… and on… and on…
At the end of the day, we still don’t know how much exactly we spent on these kids. But one thing is sure, they’ll pay for it one day. I kept the bills, right there in a box with a fake Christmas tree we found on the sidewalk.
The day they start bitching, the day they start calling me an old jerk, I’ll be there with my bills to show them I loved them once - and I’ll ask for my payback.
And good thing they’re two: at least they can split the bills.
