Congratulation Barry,
You have a world a fun coming... I'm lucky enough to have three (Ryan now 12, Samantha 10, and Dylan 8) and I'm with them and their parents on Christmas day in northern California (in a suburb of Sacramento).
I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!
It definitely is: you can pass all the mischief your kids used to make your life miserable with on to the next generation without taking responsibility for anything. I am already eagerly waiting for my daughter (now 23) wanting to procreate, har, har!
