My son is Autistic. The best part of my day is the 20 minute night time routine with all his stuffed animals. Repetition doesn't bother him (in fact he prefers it) so my same jokes totally kill every night. It started as a 2 min routine but I'm forbidden to mix up the order or skip anything so anytime I improvise something it's now a permanent addition to the show. Right when...

This a story about women peeing standing up. My wife had just reached 41 weeks of pregnancy and though she enjoyed most aspects of the process, she looked forward to its completion and meeting our first child.
