Why were you Born?

Sign in to disble this ad
Have you figured it out yet?

Was it to help your single mom take care of your handicapped sibling?
Was it so your younger brother could know who to not be like?
Was it to plow through red heads?

Or something more meaningful, or have you given up trying to figure this age old question long ago?

To fulfill destiny. My parents got a fortune cookie that declared their first born son would be awesome. It was right. I am.

Unfortunately, # 2 seems to be right on the money.

I was born because my parents were bored during a power outage.

Because my parents wanted to have a kid. I don't believe it's much more complicated than that.

Just have to comment this line... How many single moms would go out and make themselves pregnant on purpose when they have a handicapped child at home that needs their full attention and the kid won't be of any "help" for at least the first 5 years and the mother be more or less "handicapped" herself for the first 9 months....

I was born because my dad told my mom he didn't need to get a vasectomy.




Boy, was he surprised

It's self-deprecating humor like this that makes OT great!


I was born to be an awesome bass player! ...and to be modest.

I've concluded I was born to play bass.

I'm not good at anything else, so that has to be it.
