A fan of Tim's once asked him how his wife must feel when he writes sexist songs about her. Here he let's us know what she's *really* like

the bit about the kid maybe being dead but you need to finish the movie is true. when kids wake up and cry, it sucks. when they don't wake up and cry, it's almost as bad, sometimes worse because of those thoughts. at some point i bet most parents have thought or said the same thing his wife did. to non parents it seems awful, but to parents, it's just something you have to deal with. very funny stuff!

While I appreciate Minchin's songs, especially White Wine in the Sun, I find him to be much funnier when he's just talking, like this clip. Perhaps because he's easier for me to understand when he's not singing. Even talking, I find it hard to hear his words...I don't think it's just the accent, it's more like he just mumbles.

But in any case, he's a funny, funny guy.

I can understand that. I was chuckling the whole way through it though since I'm living what he's talking about right now. The "fuck you baby" at the end made me laugh pretty hard

I actually had to skip half of that bit, it was so boring. Got the idea and didn't need the extra 45 mins of it.

I don't want to have any children until somebody invents the vitals monitoring system like you see in the Star Trek infirmaries. Hook that up to the crib, then sleep easy knowing that an alarm will sound if the baby really does start having problems.

Ha, my wife has indeed said exactly the same thing as his (about the baby, not the toddler).

And it always occurs when they have been asleep and quiet for ages... far longer than usual. Oh sure, they could just be having a really good, relaxing sleep... but they might be dead too.
