Between being sick – AGAIN – the biggest holiday of the year, having my beloved Jake at home to play with, and entertaining family, I hadn’t made it onto Facebook until this morning, when I noticed something along the right sidebar where they display ads tailored precisely to users’ interests. I kid you not; it read:
Surprise your Boyfriend!

Now, just imagine for one moment that I am a 15-year-old girl dating some dirtbag my parents hate. And I see this ad on Facebook. And I just happen to have photos of me and Dirtbag on my computer. And I follow this BabyMaker link. And the result is an adorable little baby just crying out for someone to make it, pronto.
CAN DIRTBAG-DATING 15-YEAR-OLD GIRLS BE TRUSTED NOT TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY?!??!? AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I completely expect to see a baby boom among pimply high schoolers (and – gulp! – junior highers?) as a result. And it infuriates me, this preying-upon of the internet on clueless girls.
As an antidote to this epidemic, I propose an alternate website that tells the truth about “babymaking.” A website that shows what the baby will really look like.
Who’s with me?
I am Jaime, wife to Jacob. We are the smitten, stupefied, sometimes scared silly parents of a precious boy nicknamed Seabass and a darling girl nicknamed Sweet Chuck.
Higher Highs, Lower Lows 
Completely hilarious.
I’m with you! If they got an ugly picture they may ask for birth control – or just stop having sex altogether!
You are hysterical and unfortunately, so right! I am a HS teacher and have students everyday who want to talk about so and so and her adorable baby…how cute she looks in her maternity clothes and the stuff she got at her baby shower???? WHAT????
Here’s what I suggest – I’ll show them a picture of my post-partum stomach, or the other lovelies that come with PG – maybe that will fix their little read wagons.
