Preparation for parenthood is not just a matter of reading books and decorating the nursery. Here are two simple tests for expectant parents to take to prepare themselves for the real-life experience of being a mother or father.

Always repeat everything you say at least five times.

Go to your local supermarket. Take with you the nearest thing you can find to a pre-school child -- a fully grown goat is excellent. If you intend to have more than one child, take more than one goat. Buy your week's groceries without letting the goats out of your sight. Pay for everything the goats eat or destroy. Until you can easily accomplish this do not even contemplate having children.
