Daleks!
Even though I posted somewhere earlier in this QOTW about the joys of being a parent I have to say its not all great, especially the first few months.....

During my second kiddies first few weeks out of the womb the household was woken by the same annoying screech from my daughter every few hours during the night. I had the stupid thought that this kid was going to be a doddle as we had already brought up one and should be used to the lack of sleep.

Wrong.

My second seemed to know how many times the first kid (my son) had got me and my wife up and decided to break the record he set. She was up so often that I was running purely on caffeine and e numbers from various kids sweets after a few days.

One night during my turn of nightime feeding duties my wife awoke to see me sat at the foot of the bed with the screaming daughter in one hand and an ice cold bottle of baby milk in the other. After watching me stare at the bottle for a few seconds the missus asked me what the hell I was up to and why the bottle was cold as my daughter drank warm bottles and she needed it pretty sharpish as her bawling was waking the whole street up.

My reply was that I couldn't make the microwave work because the Daleks had stolen the fuse for it. Yup I was starting to hallucinate due to lack of sleep and believed (in my semi awake state) that this had happened. How the Daleks intended on taking over the world by stealing fuses never really seems odd when you're half asleep. After a brief argument about the stupidity of the situation the wife offered to feed the baby while I went back to bed.

On another note I also forgot that I was wearing my sons Ben 10 light and sound toy on my wrist the other day when I popped out to the corner shop. Walking round the shop the watch decided to power down and let everyone stood in the same aisle as me know with a loud sound affect. One of the long term shop monkeys that knows me as a regular saw the look of dawning comprehension on my face and asked me what was wrong. My reply of " Nothing I'm just turning back into a human" amused her anyway.
