There are a lot of books out there that can help you through your nine-month journey to motherhood. I had several, and among them, my favorites and the most-read are the ones that make me laugh. Maybe because I’m biased on things that cheer me up, but I think it’s because it is human nature to be more receptive on things that don’t “lecture” you.

Anyway, I came upon this book and I feel so bad that I didn’t find this while I was pregnant. The tips and information in Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips were so ridiculously illustrated any pregnant woman will surely laugh till she becomes teary-eyed. Anyone will double up with laughter upon seeing the hilarious illustrations.

Their comparisons of the pregnancy dos and don’ts are hilariously obvious and, as described in Official Dating Resource, extremely ridiculous. Take, for example, this image…

Here’s something I chanced upon while doing some research. Okay I was browsing through the net while reasearching.

I found this on LoveThoseKids, a very useful manual for parents who have toddlers.

The Rules of a Toddler
If it is on, I must turn it off.
If it is off, I must turn it on.
If it is folded, I must unfold it.
If it is a liquid, it must be shaken, then spilled.
If it a solid, it must be crumbled, chewed or smeared.

Here’s an amusing anecdote, sent by a friend.

I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked, “If I give you this money, will you buy shoes with it instead of dinner?”

“No, I’ve been walking barely with my feet years ago”, the homeless woman told me.

“Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?” I asked.

“No, I don’t waste time shopping,” the homeless woman said. “Besides, I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.”

“Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?” I asked.

“Are you NUTS !” replied the homeless woman. ” I haven’t had my hair done in 20 years!”

“Well,” I said, “I’m not going to give you the money. Instead, I’m going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.”

The homeless Woman was shocked. “Won’t your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I’m dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.”

I said, “That’s okay. It’s important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and shoes.”

I don’t totally agree with the punchline, but heck, I could use the good laugh right now.
