My most recent moment of badassery was last year, unfortunately.
Had a blizzard in which the winds were going a good ~25 miles per hour, with visibility down to twenty feet. I was sent home, as I was at work when the storm blew up.
Now, I live about an hour from work, so I had to travel an hour in this. So? I drove 70 MPH for an hour with no visibility with 25 MPH winds. Still not sure if Bad Ass, Crazy, or Stupid. Probably a bit of all three.
I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

I started filling up the birthing pool. By about 8:15 we knew it was real and called the midwives and the neighbor who was to take our 3 year old. The neighbor was dropping her kids off, the midwife got stuck in traffic. I helped my wife through contrations, checking the pool, getting her a drink, etc. in between, managing my daughter the whole time as well. Just after 9 the neighbor came and took her, just after 9:20 I had my 'the baby is here and the midwives aren't' checklist and my wife was ready to push! The midwives came barging in at 9:30, at 9:35 she was born! The one vet midwife said after I had cut the cord, as I was helping my wife eat, drink, and be warm, as well as assisting the midwives: 'You are remarkably calm'. After I thought, ya, I guess it takes more than imminent birth or a baby coming out of a vagina to stress me out!
And if that doesn't make me a badass, well at least I got a girl pregnant!
Hurray!

Thanks guys. Now does anyone know of a device that filters out only the sound of a baby crying? (And no, don't hand me the Crown Royal and call it an 'indifference enhancer'). The little nipple nibbler is HUNGRY! Sometimes I find, that when the baby cries, mom feels SOOOO bad for baby. Dad feels bad for dad.

I stayed home with my 2 year old because he had a large abscess of pus on his upper thigh on Friday. I planned to take it easy- he proceeded to grab his foam swords and we chased each other around the house until we both fell asleep.
Between his disjointed shrieks, 'swood', and dramatic posing, I heard loud and clear- 'I ain't got time to bleed'.

Kids are fething great arnt they? I used to do those things with my son when he was a wee lad, now hes in 1st. He still likes sword fighting and all that, but the magic from it is all gone. My daughter though, its still there, so I beat her up as much as I cant while she is still young
My wife was just reading the worlds youngest grandmother is from Romania, and she is 23. Yea, you read that right. I guess the youngest in the UK is 29. So you guys get at it young I guess

I'm 18, what is wrong with this world.
None of my old school acquaintences have children (I wouldn't put it past a good lot of them to have them soon) but they are more concerned with killing their livers right now. I guess it goes like this: Killing Liver>Uni>Kids, in terms of priority for them at the moment.
My sister had her daughter at... let me see... about 23-ish, and my school acquaintences will be turning 19/20 this year (a few are already 19), so I give them about another year before the unplanned birth photos start appearing on Facebook.

I believe the youngest Grandmother in the UK was 26, she had her daughter at 13, her daughter had a baby at 13. Remember reading it in my ex's mag.
