I'm sure Timbo will toss out all kinds of response to your statement

But, kids do give me an "official" excuse to:
- wear black socks and Tivas together (parents are exempt from any fashion laws as long as they are in possession of toddlers)
- watch Spongebob
- consider buying optis
- Ditch after-work "networking" meetings to get home on time
- make obscene body noises and stupid facial expressions
- eat cupcakes for breakfast (bad parenting 101)
- dig giant holes in the garden, beach, etc.
- drink heavily on the few occasions I find myself out without said toddlers
