This Is Why They Should Hand Out Abortions with Packs of Cigarettes

I have no idea how it happened, but a couple of days ago, when I got home from a car trip where my 10-month old son was being unusually quiet in his car seat, I went to the backseat to let him out and discovered he'd somehow found a tea bag and started chewing on it. He'd only managed to ingest a few tea leaves, but man: I felt like a dipshit parent.

I feel better now:

Two women were arrested at a Greenfield Ponderosa restaurant after allowing a 2-year-old to smoke. According to police: The boy's 26-year-old mother and 39-year-old aunt were eating at the restaurant last week, when they held a cigarette up to the boy's mouth and attempted to light it.

The aunt told police that the boy often says "smoke, smoke" and sometimes takes cigarettes out of the pack and puts them in his mouth. The aunt said the mother keeps a rolled up dollar bill in the bedroom, which the child plays with. Anytime the boy has the dollar bill he holds it up to his nose and says, "fix, fix" over and over again.
