It sometimes happens, even in the best of families, that a baby is born. This is not necessarily cause for alarm. The important thing is to keep your wits about you and borrow some money. ~ Elinor Goulding Smith, author of The Complete Book of Absolutely Perfect Baby and Child Care, 1957

No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I’m not talking about the kids. ~ Bill Cosby
Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud “snort” noises.) I don’t know why parents don’t do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you’re a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won’t have his friends hanging around your house all the time. ~ P.J. O’Rourke
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell, the name will carry. ~ Bill Cosby
The trouble with being a parent is that by the time you are experienced, you are unemployed. ~ Anonymous
