11. "Y U NO HAVE TEH BABIES?"

Dec 2015

I loved this thing years ago that I think was in the New Yorker...

This couple had named the 2 children, a boy and a girl, that they had NOT had. They kept adding up how much they had saved by "not having little Billy and Suzan". "We saved a bundle not buying a crib for Billy and not enrolling little Suzan for horseback riding lessons."

It was hysterical.
