John and Lisa were beside themselves with delight when they brought home their first child from the hospital. Little Katy was full of smiles and lovable grunts, and her parents ate it up.
Of course, Katy would come with responsibilities, too.
A few afternoons later, John walked into the living room and saw his wife sitting on the couch with Katy. Knowing that Katy needed to be changed, Lisa suggested to John that he do it. He quickly turned and said that he was too busy, but promised he’d do the next one.
That same evening after dinner, Lisa pulled a cranky Katy from the crib, took note of the full diaper, and walked over to John. “Honey, you promised to do the next one,” she gently reminded him. “It’s time.”
“Oh no,” said John. “You misunderstood. I didn’t mean the next diaper; I meant the next kid.”
