    FOLLOW THESE 14 SIMPLE TESTS BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO HAVE
    CHILDREN



    Test 1

    Women to prepare for maternity, put on a dressing gown and
    stick a beanbag down the front. Leave it there for 9 months.
    After 9 months remove 5% of the beans.

    Men to prepare for paternity, go to a local chemist, tip
    the contents of your wallet onto the counter and tell the
    pharmacist to help himself. Then go to the supermarket.
    Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head
    office. Go home. Pick up the newspaper and read it for the
    last time.



    Test 2

    Find a couple who are already parents and berate them about
    their methods of discipline, lack of patience, appallingly
    low tolerance levels and how they have allowed their
    children to run wild. Suggest ways in which they might
    improve their child's sleeping habits,toilet training, table
    manners and overall behavior. Enjoy it. It will be the last
    time in your life that you will ha ve all the answers.

    To discover how the nights will feel

    1. Walk around the living room from 5pm to 10pm carrying a
    wet bag weighing approximately 4 - 6kg, with a radio turned

    2. At 10pm, put the bag down, set the alarm for midnight and
    go to sleep.

    3. Get up at 12pm and walk the bag around the living room
    until 1am.
