And yes, my baby doesn’t yet sleep through the night. And yes, I should go to bed. And yes, I’m blaming exhaustion on this comment."</i> I used to not understand comments like this, but after 2 1/2 weeks of Fatherhood, I realize my former level of understanding was a blissful ignorance. My response then: "Are you serious?" My response now: "Seriously!" “And yes, it’s past midnight. And yes, my baby doesn’t yet sleep through the night. And yes, I should go to bed. And yes, I’m blaming exhaustion on this comment.”

You assume they are just a selfish, sarcastic jerk and talk about them behind their back until they become "that guy that posted that thing on your blog that one time" and all you have to do in your circle of friends is mention him by his new name, TGTPTTOYBTOT and everyone says "ooooohhhhh" in a sincere voice and looks all sorry for you. AND you get double points if you can pronounce TGTPTTOYBTOT. So score for you. (In case this helps, totally not serious. And yes, it's past midnight. And yes, my baby doesn't yet sleep through the night. And yes, I should go to bed. And yes, I'm blaming exhaustion on this comment. You're welcome.) You don’t ask if they are serious.
