Unusual (but true!) baby math

When one of your young children is crying, it’s sad.

When the other of your young children is crying, it’s also sad. 

Either one crying, then, is very, very sad. Sometimes heartbreakingly so.

But somehow… Both children crying at once? Don’t tell anyone, but it’s often absolutely friggin’ hilarious.

Because you look at your spouse, and she looks at you (feel free to change the pronouns to suit your lifestyle), and you look at the two-headed crying monster before you, and you realize that you can either run away screaming and sobbing, or just laugh your fool head off.

We choose the latter.
