This American Life

Okay, I kind of love TAL anyway, but I thought some of you may enjoy the third act, where a SAHD talks about his twins.

Funny that he thinks the term "twins" should be replaced with "two f'ing babies at the same time" and that people should say "oh, I see you have two f'ing babies at the same time, that must be f'ing crazy--how do you manage that?"

The third act starts around 37 minutes and is about 10 minutes long.

It's funny, I was just thinking about this yesterday. I listened to that a while back (I guess when it first aired) and I thought maybe he was going a tad overboard (of course, i am a mom of three f'in babies) but it was amusing.

Ha, as the mother of only one f'in baby right now, I agree that he didn't sound like the most balanced parent out there.

By the way, your three little guys are SO cute! Their picture makes me smile!

LOVE this show.  I thought he was crazy at first but totally warmed up to him by the end.  I think he's just a bit neurotic and purposefully over-the-top.

Thanks for sharing.  I'll have to get my husband to listen.  He loooooves TAL.  I like to tease him that he has a man-crush on Ira Glass.
