As heard on the show Tuesday July 22nd...

THE COST OF KIDS

The government recently calculated the cost of raising a child from birth to 18 and came up with $160,140 for a middle income family. Talk about sticker shock! That doesn't even touch college tuition! But $160,140 isn't so bad if you break it down. It translates into $8,896.66 a year, $741.38 a month, or $171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.24 a day... or just over a dollar an hour. Still, you might think the best financial advice is "Don't have children if you want to be rich." It is just the opposite! Here's what you get for your $160,140:

• Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
• Glimpses of God every day.
• Giggles under the covers every night.
• More love than your heart can hold.
• Endless wonder over rocks, ants, clouds, and warm cookies.
• A hand to hold, usually covered with jam.
• A partner for blowing bubbles, flying kites, building sandcastles, and skipping down the sidewalk in the pouring rain.
• Someone to laugh yourself silly with no matter what the boss said or how your stocks performed that day.

For $160,140, you never have to grow up. You get to finger-paint, carve pumpkins, play hide-and-seek, catch lightning bugs, and never stop believing in Santa Claus. You have an excuse to keep: reading the Adventures of Piglet and Pooh, watching Saturday morning cartoons, going to Disney movies, and wishing on stars. You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and flowers under refrigerator magnets, and collect spray-painted noodle wreaths for Christmas, hand-prints set in clay for Mother's Day, and cards with backward letters for Father's Day.

For $160,140, there is no greater bang for your buck. You get to be a hero just for retrieving a Frisbee off the garage roof, taking the training wheels off the bike, removing a splinter, filling a wading pool, coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and coaching a baseball team that never wins but always gets treated to ice cream regardless. You get a front row seat to witness the first step, first word, first bra, first date, and first time behind the wheel. You get to be immortal. You get another branch added to your family tree, and if you're lucky, a long list of limbs in your obituary called grandchildren. You get an education in psychology, nursing, criminal justice, communications, and human sexuality that no college can match.

ARE THESE DOLLS TOO REAL?





AND YOU DON'T TO CHOOSE A HUMAN BABY!


Here is the story...

Frantic police in Austrailia smashed a window to rescue a seemingly unconscious baby from a locked vehicle in Gympie only to find an extremely lifelike doll. According to the article, it's not a first: A similar incident occurred here in the U-S when the window of a new Hummer was broken by police trying to rescue a "baby" that turned out to be a doll belonging to the owner's wife. The dolls are meticulously crafted, hand-painted with eyelashes, fingernails, wispy hair, even umbilical cords, and birth certificates. They sell for as much as a thousand bucks.

OUR MAN MATT MEETS KEVIN COSTNER!

Things That DADS Say

Don't ask me, ask your mother.

Were you raised in a barn? Close the door.

You didn't beat me. I let you win.

Big boys don't cry.

Don't worry. It's only blood.

Don't you know any normal boys?

Now you listen to me, Buster!

I'll play catch after I read the paper.

Coffee will stunt your growth.

A little dirt never hurt anyone-just wipe it off.

Get your elbows off the table.

I told you, keep your eye on the ball.

Who said life was supposed to be fair.

Always say please and thank you. That way, you get more.

If you forget, you'll be grounded till the end of the world.

You call that a haircut?

"Hey" is for horses.

This will hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.

Turn off those lights. Do you think I am made of money?

Don't give me any of your lip, young lady.

You call that noise "music?"

We're not lost. I'm just not sure where we are.

No, we're not there yet.

Shake it off. It's only pain.

When I was your age, I treated my father with respect.

As long as you live under my roof, you'll live by my rules.

I'll tell you why. Because I said so. That's why.

Do what I say, not what I do.

Sit up straight, knucklehead!

So you think you're smart, do you?

What's so funny? Wipe that smile off your face.

Young ladies perspire, they do not sweat.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times.

C'mon, you throw like a girl.

You want something to do? I'll give you something to do.

You should visit more often. Your mother worries.

This is your last warning.

Your mother worries.

I'm not sleeping, I was watching that channel.

What keeps those jeans of yours from falling off?

I'm not just talking to hear my own voice!
