I have some shocking news: it seems your parents are planning to bring in a new baby to join the family. While grown-ups refer to this as “having a sibling,” don’t be fooled by their fancy terminology. What they’re really doing is upgrading to a Baby 2.0, which may leave you feeling a bit displaced, like you’ve been kicked out of your own throne.
Now, let’s review the facts. You may think of yourself as the ruler of your household, but trust me, that future little brother or sister isn’t going to care about your royal status. Babies have no respect for authority whatsoever. They don’t even know what “Game of Thrones” is!
Let’s talk about babies for a second. They are incredibly needy, even the newer models you’d think would be self-sufficient by now. If only Darwin had consulted Steve Jobs about baby upgrades, things might be different.
I’ve already made it clear to my parents that I am not on board with sharing my space with another baby. They respect my wishes, which is why I enjoy a delightful syrup treat every morning (Vitamin D). It’s like having breakfast in bed!
But listen, little ones, there’s still time! The baby isn’t here yet, which means you can still persuade your parents to reconsider this decision. Remind them how challenging babies can be. That’s your job, just as it’s their job to keep you happy, even if your mom is feeling a bit nauseous from the impending addition to the family.
Here are some strategies that might help:
- Pretend you’re made of yarn. You won’t be able to stand up, and neither will you move when they try to get you into a car seat!
- Channel your inner steel rod. Imagine a steel rod in your back whenever someone tries to buckle you in. Repeat “DO NOT BEND” until it becomes your mantra.
- Act colicky. I know you’re too old for that, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
- Overindulge on carrots. Eat as many as you can, then expel them vigorously through any means necessary. Change up your veggies for a fun twist!
- Set an alarm in your crib. Hide it and set it to go off every 30 minutes to ensure your parents are always awake. You might not get sleep, but that’s a small price to pay for fighting Baby 2.0.
- Avoid being adorable. I know it’s hard because you naturally look cute, but try smearing food on your face and refusing to smile—even at the sight of a farm animal.
- Scream at an ear-piercing pitch when you see another baby. Hold it for a count of 50 Mississippis, then vomit. Repeat every time you encounter anyone resembling a baby, even on TV.
Best of luck, little ones. Your future is bright!
Sincerely,
Your Fellow Diaper-Wearing Comrade
