Does anyone else remember that daydream sequence in Six Feet Under when David found a baby in a kitchen cupboard and said "Oh my god! Keith, look! It's a Chinese baby!" Yeah, I've been opening random cupboards in hopes of finding a baby like a kid who's just read The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe and keeps popping into wardrobes in hopes of ending up in Narnia.
The fittest parents contest sounds intriguing. Especially the part about last year's fittest parents winning due to the good job they did with 2 older kids and ... their respectability? Perhaps something is lost in translation but the word makes me imagine other couples being disqualified because of things like dad being spotted wearing boxers and smoking on the front porch, or mom habitually going to the supermarket with curlers still in her hair.
