She's so gorgeous, he wishes illness for his children.

"I used to be fun size. Now I'm family size."

"If you are a woman who is overwhelmed with feelings of stress and/or guilt, a good sound therapeutic spanking may help." Uhh...

"Looking for someone to go see a movie with, which could be super awkward or fun. Now that I think about it, maybe only awkward."

Who steals kids' backpacks?
