Because this is just dying to be a full-fledged meme…
American Snapshot
According to the book, a majority of Americans:
• Eats peanut butter at least once a week
•Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky• Can name all Three Stooges
• Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart
• Eats at McDonald’s at least once a year
• Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day
• Never sings in the shower
• Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium• Has fired a gun
• Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000

• Weighs 135 to 205 pounds
• Is between the ages of 18 and 53
• Believes gambling is an acceptable entertainment option
• Grew up within 50 miles of current home
Damn. That’s pretty average.
Of course, the weight thing will be right out the window in a couple of weeks at the rate this kid is growing, but let’s not think about that right now…
You’re beautiful. And you’re growing a beautiful baby.
I say “screw the weight” and “I’ll deal with it later.” :o)

-- I eat peanut butter maybe two or three times a month. And it’s chunky (because my peanut-butter-five-times-a-week husband prefers it that way).
-- Moe, Larry and Curly.
-- Nope, I’m in Chicago and our nearest Wal-mart is in Wheeling (about an hour away)
-- OK on the shower, though I do sing in it.
-- OK on the MacDonalds (2-3x per year, tops)
-- Owns a small house currently valued at 250K thanks to wildly inflated Chicago real estate prices
-- Has fired a gun - yes! For the first time ever, just today! (A Shotgun 101 course, courtesy of the NRA)
-- Between 5 and 6 feet tall: 5’5”
-- Weight: let’s just say it falls between those two ranges.
-- Am 53 years old exactly.
-- Think gambling is stupid, and why don’t you just rip up your money and flush it down the toilet?
-- Born in New York City, currently living in Chicago.
