Chris Rock Might Be Someone Else's Daddy Too

You know that hilfreakingarious bit Chris Rock does about how your only real goal as the father of a girl is to keep her off the pole? Good Lord, that's given me the giggles more times than I can count. It's funny because...well, it's pretty true.

It seems that Mr. Rock may need an addendum to that bit. One that includes what your goal should be in raising a son. After not even knowing for sure if he's your son until he's hit those awkward early teen years.

Although there are still a lot of ifs involved, Rock has asked the court to determine if he is the father of a 13-year old boy as indicated in paternity papers filed by Georgia resident Kali Bowyer. Rock's done the deed of releasing a good "daddy" statement, saying he wants to "contribute to the support, maintenance, and education" of the child if papahood's proven.

All this DNA mania makes me wonder if it's time to form a Tuesday afternoon Baby Daddy playgroup where a diplomatic Chris, a pissed off Eddie and a - God help us - anger management therapist-mandated near-silent Mel can offer up advice to Big Lar on Danielynn's poopsplosions and whether or not her cough is a little croupy or just a spring-time cold. Maybe Chris can workshop his set up for that new bit. Sigh. Good times.

That headline? That sums up our week. When we weren't knee-deep in placenta juice (mmmmm), we were kicking kids out of restaurants, wondering why new moms are so damn selfish and getting an odd feeling that celebrities aren't using "yoga"
