Calvin & the Cost of a Child

A good friend forwarded me a link to a new tongue-in-cheek study about the financial costs of raising a child.  As opposed to the emotional costs, which I assume are soul-crushing on a daily basis.  (Remember who is writing here following that last sendence!)  Of course, I also know that I cost my parents a good deal more money than the average child.  As I mentioned to this friend, all of this is why I am the parent of cats!

This study focused on the comic strip Calvin & Hobbes and uses Calvin's destructive habits to gauge the cost of childhood destruction of property.  I'm so glad that she thought of me.  I loved reading this.

And remember kids:  BATS AREN'T BUGS!!!!!!!
