I watched 2 babies (names will remain anonymous) last night while their moms & dads went to the KISS/Aerosmith concert. Blood curdling screams started at about 8pm and didn't stop until about 11 pm. I watched Baby Beethoven nine times, mostly because that's all that would bring the screams of one of them down just a notch. She was also on a hunger strike, and the sheer sight of the bottle sent her screams off the charts and into oblivion. To their credit they did take turns, and they weren't both screaming at the same time. Which I thought was nice, very considerate & thoughtful of them. Though my neighbors may not agree. I am starting my prayers today that if/when I decide children are an option (last night was a serious setback) twins are completely out of the question. No way. No how.
