Got this recently and thought I'd share it with the group.

MESS TEST
Smear peanut butter on the sofa and curtains. Place a fish stick behind the couch and leave it there all summer.

TOY TEST
Obtain a 55-gallon box of LEGOs (or you may substitute roofing tacks). Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream because this would wake a child at night.

GROCERY STORE TEST
Borrow one or two small animals (goats are best) and take them with you as you shop. Always keep them in sight and pay for anything they eat or damage.

DRESSING TEST
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff into a small net
bag making sure that all the arms stay inside.

FEEDING TEST
Obtain a large plastic milk jug. Fill halfway with water. Suspend from the ceiling with a cord. Start the jug swinging. Try to insert spoonfuls of soggy cereal into the mouth of the jug, while pretending to be an airplane. Now dump the contents of the jug on the floor.

NIGHT TEST
Prepare by obtaining a small cloth bag and fill it with 8-12 pounds of sand. Soak it thoroughly in water. At 3:00 p.m. begin to waltz and hum with the bag until 9:00 p.m. Lay down your bag and set your alarm for 10:00 p.m. Get up, pick up your bag, and
sing every song you have ever heard. Make up about a dozen more and sing these too until 4:00 a. m. Set alarm for 5:00 a.m. Get up and make breakfast. Keep this up for 5 years. Look cheerful.

INGENUITY TEST
Take an egg carton. Using a pair of scissors and pot of paint, turn it into an alligator. Now take a toilet paper tube and turn it into an attractive Christmas candle. Use only scotch tape and a piece of foil. Last, take a milk carton, a Ping-Pong ball, and an empty box of Cocoa Puffs. Make an exact replica of the Eiffel Tower.

AUTOMOBILE TEST
Forget the BMW and buy a station wagon. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there. Get a dime. Stick it into the cassette player. Take a family size package of chocolate chip cookies. Mash them into the back seat.
Run a garden rake along both sides of the car. There, perfect.

PHYSICAL TEST (Women)
Obtain a large bean bag chair and attach it to the front of your clothes. Leave it there for 9 months. Now remove 10 of the beans.

PHYSICAL TEST (Men)
Go to the nearest drug store. Set your wallet on the counter. Ask the clerk to help himself. Now proceed to the nearest food store. Go to the head office and arrange for your paycheck to be directly deposited to the store. Purchase a newspaper. Go home
and read it quietly for the last time.

INTIMATE RELATIONS TEST
Prepare to have intimate relations with your spouse. Arrange for a tape recorder to suddenly cry out, "Mommy/Daddy! I'm thirsty/I need to go to the potty!" or to simply cry (ear-splittingly!). Rig something up to knock on your bedroom door while the tape
recorder says, "Mommy/Daddy, I had a bad dream. Can I sleep in your bed?"

FINAL ASSIGNMENT
Find a couple who already have a small child. Lecture them on how they can improve their discipline, patience, tolerance, toilet training and child's table manners. Suggest many ways they can improve. Emphasize to them that they should never allow their
children to run wild. Enjoy this experience. It will be the last time you will have all the answers.

Hmmm, why would that be? Everyone seems to be agreeing here. I certainly agree. It's just a cute little humor article that happens to be frighteningly true. What exactly do you mean?

You forgot the
"Counterstike Test": Buy counterstrike. Make the mistake of one day letting a six-year-old watch you play it and then make the bigger mistake of letting him play around on Condition Zero. Wife has a fit because it's too violent a game for a six-year-old to play. Don't let six-year-old play it. Listen to six-year-old whine day after day about how he wants to play Counterstrike and you won't let him.

Huh????? My ex had no problem with her boy watching me play it when he was 5. He's a very bright kid, but there's no way he could handle playing it even now he's 6. He struggles with kids games on the PS1. The blood and gore are laughable even in CS, even in source. If a headshot left a mess instead of an untouched body I'd be with you (probably).
