* Water, especially lukewarm water on washcloths, is actually highly corrosive to babies and burns, yes, my precious, like acid on their skin.
* Breastmilk served out of a bottle tastes like an ashtray-flavored Italian soda.

* Repeatedly whacking yourself in the face feels awesome and looks great!
Off to find some bleach for these brilliant-orange-stained diapers. Seriously, now, wtf.
