I Couldn't Make This Stuff Up, Folks

Actual conversation between my husband and his unmarried, childless co-worker:

Co-worker: The thing about having kids is that it's really stressful.
Husband: Well, I don't know if I'd say stressful, exactly.
Co-worker: But it's not stress-free.
Husband: No, that's true. Especially with a new baby -- the crying can really get to you.

~pause in conversation~

Co-worker: And when they cry...you have to do something about that, right?
