Any parent will tell you that children are a blessing. They’re God’s gift to your life in more ways than any childless person could ever understand.

You know the intro tune of every toddler TV show that’s being aired and you’ve even subconsciously chosen your favourite and least favourite ones. 

And of course, you wouldn’t dare change the channel – you wouldn’t want the King or Queen to have a tantrum again.
