First Day of Paternity Leave

Today is the first day of my 100% parental leave. I will be a full-time dad until at least the end of June.

As if some sort of omen to this new status, in today's newspaper was the above cartoon called Sigge's Lagoon.

Roughly translating:
first panel - Maggan asked me to leave Kurt today... so here he is.
Hey Kurt!
second panel - Do you actually like taking care of babies?
I have nothing against it, except for the "clean-up" part.
third panel - Let me give you a little fatherly-tip. No more wipes, paper towels or napkins needed. Just use this.
fourth panel - A window squeegee?
It works on the baby's both ends!

I will take it as wise advice.
