W.C. Fields said once that anybody who hated babies couldn’t be all bad. As a fellow child-hater, I agreed (note past tense!) with him, until I read this. Anglin really has nothing going for him at all.
Anglin is a self-confessed troll. This is the only time he has managed to annoy me - by agreeing with me on one thing. “Children are Loud, Stinky, Cruel Terrorists” would actually be funny IF ANYONE ELSE HAD SAID IT. Namely someone who’s not a loud, cruel terrorist and probably doesn’t wear deodorant either. Children are disgusting, but they can’t help being what they are. Anglin can.
Incidentally my dad was born in 1942, thus making him a ‘boomer’ (though he hated that term as much as I hate the term ‘Generation X’), and I’ve seen a picture of him changing my nappy (that’s what we call a diaper, Americans) and I’ve also seen another picture of him bottle-feeding me. And my dad was one of the toughest men I’ve ever met.
