Wedding Schmedding

hope these are taxpayer funded sick bags! I can not tell you how excited I am that the royal nuptials are taking place today.

But I did (allegedly) break the sack of flour by (presumably) dropping the (alleged) "kid" a bazillion times. So, I'll give 'em that. And how could this assignment prepare anyone for raising a child anyway? I come by these butter fingers honestly. My mother once sat my squirming runs-away-all-the-time little brother do
