HaHaHa! Greatest day in your life!

Now let me tell what's next:

1- helping to feed and diaper that rascal at 1:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m. and maybe 6:00 a.m.
2- food, clothing, toys, insurance, etc... no more money for Excursion upgrades
3- lose contact with all your friends because you are now a family man
4- trips to the school principal's office because rascal has told his teachers to take their apples and stick 'em.... well you know the rest
5- peer pressure, the old ear ring and nose ring, find cigarettes in rascal's coat pocket
6- come home one day and notice the Excursion is gone, rascal has decided he's now 14 and it's time for him to drive!
7- rascal brings his new gothic emo Sally girlfriend home with him one day! you suffer a major heart attack
8- rascal is now 17, and you have helped him buy his first car. you get the amended insurance bill and it's more for 12 months than you have paid in the last 20 years combined
9- rascal and emo Sally are out on a date, you have dozed off in our favorite recliner while watching the 11:00 p.m. news. about 12:05 a.m. you get a call from the local police department to come and bond out rascal. rascal's BAC was twice the legal limit when he struck a police car headon
10- rascal announces that emo Sally is pregnant, you suffer another major heart attack, you're on life support for 3 months before starting on a successful road to recovery
11- you now suffer from repeated nightmares wondering what emo Sally's baby is going to look like
12- anticipating the arrival of their new baby, rascal and emo Sally ask your wife where's the best place to buy black diapers
13- rascal and emo Sally have more good news... they are having twins! you now suffer a fatal heart attack!!! finally, R.I.P.

Congratulations !!!

I went directly to having a Grand-Daughter - no diapers or other issues!

My step-son handles those tasks!!!
I do - however, wake up while baby sitting when she needs grand-pa-pa.

Congrats on the new addition! Now you've got two hungry things (Excursion and baby)! At least nothing yucky comes out of the back of an Excursion.
