‐‐ Pat Benatar
When you have girl children, they torture you! If at any moment of the day I ever think I'm remotely cool at all, which is hardly ever, I have two daughters who make sure that never happens. They say, 'Mom, you didn't really wear that?' And I say, 'Yes, and pretty much everyone saw it.'

‐‐ Adam Carolla
When you have kids, you just love them. It's similar to when you're in love with someone.
