  • Buys a Sunday paper before having kids and reads it on Sunday morning.
  • Buys a Sunday paper after having kids and reads it on Sunday morning..... three weeks later.

  • Wears a white dress to a family party before having kids and leaves at the end of the night with a white dress.

  • Makes self a cup of tea before having kids and drinks it while hot.
