Priorities change after a child. Proof of this can be seen in the many aspects of your life, but you needn't go any further then your latest grocery receipt. Here is a typical receipt that a new family can expect to file away for those future IRS audits. It's interesting that the bulk of the money is spent on diapers for Virg. These will eventually be covered in baby leavings and thrown away. There may be some universal truth to be found in that observation... but I'd rather not think about it now. The next bulk of money is spent on Pabst beer. Pabst is God's gift to all fathers. That only left our family around $5.00 for sustenance. We all voted and decided on Ice Cream. If you lots all your money, were evicted from your house, all your pets died, and you literally saw the four horsemen of the apocalypse galloping towards on on the horizon, and someone handed you a bowl of ice cream, you couldn't help but smile and feel like everything was going to be OK. Virg like french vanilla the best.
