Jackass parent answers for when asked how much your child weighs
There are three questions you always get asked when you have a baby – sex, length, and weight. While weight doesn’t have nearly the potential jackass parent potential as say “how old is your child,” it does present some unique ways in which you can be an annoying ass when asked how much your child weighs.
After about two hundred well meaning friends asking, having not read your Facebook, Twitter, Google+, texts and instant messages, you might feel the need to whip out some jackassery to lay down. This usually occurs at about day 4 with no sleep and people begging to be let over to see you.
