The cheer up thread.

Children are mostly just irritating.

You're entitled to your opinion. I'm a father of two girls, and it's been my experience that they're equal parts irritating, fascinating, insane, and wise.

My ickle cousins are the best, so cute and adawble and really hilarious.

Yeah but you have to like your own Riss or the species would die out

I've been having to get used to kids lately, given that half the people I went to school with are now parents, about a third of the women at work have engaged in a chain of pregnancies as if there was some kind of rota, and now pretty much everywhere I go there's someone shoving a kid/pictures of a kid in my face.

My god daughter is going to be ace. Unless she doesn't want to be ace, because y'know, she can be anything she damn well pleases.

I often think my little nephew is cute, then he punches me in the face. Heh, kids. Kinda glad I can give them back to my sister at the end of the day. :P

This is the TRUE joy of children! Fill'em up with sugar, spoil rotten, shake well, release back to parents.

She's going to be a G.I. Joe pilot?!? Sweet! Blue lasers for the win!

Have just ordered series 1-4 of Maid Marian and Her Merry Men.

Yes, that very much counts as a cheer up.
