15. In my experience, most dogs are better behaved than most children

As somebody who on a good day finds kids to be obnoxious pains, can I request people get leashes and vests for their children? I not only don't love children, I find poorly behaved children to be insufferable and cause far more of a burden on everyone around them than dogs do.

Leave the kid at home. Re-think actually having a kid, the world is over-populated.
