Seems to me that if you choose to be a parent, you should do it for mostly unselfish reasons. Of course, we all know this isn’t true but still, as an ideal, that’s probably how it should work. Once that path is chosen, you certainly have responsibilities. Responsibilities like not giving toddlers pot, not letting toddlers roam busy highways, and other things that really ought to be common sense.
More importantly, don’t let your insane compulsions affect crucial parenting decisions like naming your children after college football head coaches. I can see naming a family pet after a truly legendary coach, say calling your German Shepard “Bear Bryant”. But naming your child after Nick Saban shows once again that if we have to have a license to drive, we damn well ought to have a licence to procreate since some people just can’t be trusted with such important things.
Props: EDSBS who explains the situation far better and with much more humor than I ever could.

You said it! The roaming busy highways link… oh my. This is the reason I simply cannot watch that “Cops” show, it’s nothing but stuff like that. I go crazy when I see crap like that, makes me want to jump through the tv and throttle them for being so stupid.
Serious congrats on the cigarette thing!
