Paul Reiser Quotes About Babies

Quotes about: Babies

• People often ask me, "What's the difference between couplehood and babyhood?" In a word? Moisture. Everything in my life is now more moist.

• So where did these cravings come from? I concluded it's the baby ordering in. Prenatal takeout.

And if you could, hurry it up, because I'm supposed to grow a lung in a half hour.'
