Babies Quote by Grady Hendrix
““Babies can be fussy , and the fussiest babies have a body count . Of course , every mother thinks her baby is perfect , but at some point , as her home fills with dead bodies , she has to face facts and admit that the fruit of her womb is a face eating beast spawned from the deepest recesses of hell .””
