*imagines what would have happened if he had been given an assignment with one of those computerized babies*

They'd have gotten a pile of bits and pieces back, with the explanation, "I wanted to see how it worked".

I can vouch for you on this. I love it when people talk about their pets like they're children. That is equally ignorant. Pets are NOTHING like having children.

Cat=1/1,000,000 the work of having a child
Dog=1/500,000 the work of having a child

Get back to me when you actually have a child. Until then, you have no clue.

Dumbest exercise ever.

While I agree with you on all counts, I think that those who have experience successfully raising a puppy into a well-behaved adult dog at least have a better idea of what to expect. Also:

Cat = 1/1,000,000 child
Dog (all other breeds) = 1/500,000 child
2 Jack Russell Terrier puppies = 1/100,000 child
Jack russel is 4/1 child, because with a child you're not likely to want to kick it through the wall quite as often, and that requires consistent restraint with a JRT.

Bring the egg back in with tattoos and piercings.

Some children are just "bad eggs" after all.

?
Dad joke.

I wish I'd only had to do an egg when I was in school. They made us each carry a 10 lb bag of potatoes around for a week, and I'm sure that's not as bad as the crying dolls (or a real kid, obviously).
