Babies

I can't quite grasp the fact that people my age are having babies. Why so soon? Isn't it too early to tie yourself down with a kid? The only pros I can cook up is that babies are tax deductible.

"This is my child, Discount"

"This is my offspring, Coupon"

"This is my spawn, Voucher"

"This is mini-me, his name is Notax"
