Double Income, no Kittens
August 30th 2009 21:00
My colleague’s wife is pregnant. Two of my other colleagues are already fathers so it’s natural that the three of them discuss babies.
That’s where I come into the picture.
“I’m a SINK,” I told the father-to-be proudly.
“A SINK?” he asked.
“Yep. Single income, no kids. And if I had a bloke that would be DINK, double income no kids.” I then remembered Butterscotch. “Actually, I am already a DINK, as in double income, no kittens.”
My colleague laughed. “Where does his income come from?” he asked.
“Mice.”
“Mice aren’t income,” he said.
“Yes, they are. It means he can provide for himself which means I don’t have to buy him Whiskas.”
“And the kittens?”
“Well, the Cat Protection Society made sure he had an operation so he can’t father kittens.”
“You mean the snip? Or the chop?”
He got me stumped there. In which category does desexing fall in?
“What a shame,” I said. “My handsome boy can’t pass on his DNA.”
