Breeder Advice: How To Stay Cool When You Have a Bebe

Jezebel contributor Tracy Moore has 10 good pieces of advice for all you mommies and daddies who want to enlist cool company after you've birthed your wee baby. 

My favorite is #8: Using a time-tested sales strategy, coax your potential new friend into the habit of saying "yes" before revealing your baby's existence. "Don't you just love the Coen brothers?" "Isn't this fine weather we're having?" "Would you agree that 7% is a fair annual return on a mutual fund?" "Then surely you can see that my having this baby is beneficial to all parties involved."

How Pavlovian.
