Practice Baby

My brother and his ladyfriend posted this on Craigslist. Apparently it was flagged for removal in a record 48 seconds after being posted. I just don't know why.

Wanted: Practice Baby

Hi!!!
We are a young couple who are SO excited about someday having a baby!

I guess you can say that "someday" is the key word here. You see, we're still in our mid 20s. We go out on week nights, spend most of our paychecks, and partake in the use of recreational drugs on occasion (nothing hard, 420 only).

But that doesn't mean that we aren't very loving and responsible people! We have paid our rent on time for 2 years straight and have extremely moderate credit scores. We care for many pets - a dog, 2 cats, tropical fish, and a chinchilla - all of which are happy and healthy. Our pets are like our family, and I think it's safe to say that we have a wonderful family!!

Like we said up front, we are simply elated by the prospect of one day having a child of our own. We are confident that we will make wonderful parents, but since we are young and inexperienced we feel that we need some practice first. We know as well as you probably know, you just can't be too prepared when raising your own actual biological child. That is where we are hoping you can help us.

We are looking for a child, age 3 months to 2 years, that we can borrow and/or have for an indefinite period of time (whatever you feel comfortable with). Now before you think we're completely "loco," please know that we are aware that this is a very unusual request. That is why we would like to meet you and your child at least once to make sure your (our) baby is happy and healthy, and gets along with our current family (pets). Again, we think we would make totally awesome parents. Neither of us discriminate against race, sexual orientation or height/weight.

If you think you may have what we are looking for, please shoot us an email and tell us a little bit about yourself and your baby. Pictures (both camera-phone and regular-style camera) are encouraged, though not necessary. Thanks for your consideration, and feel free to email us if you have any questions.

All our love,
Laura and Amos
