No need to let this [sleeping dog](http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2012/02/australia-dingo-mystery-inquest/1) lie, I guess. Before they became teenagers, I really couldn’t have imagined a horror worse than having my kids taken by wild dogs, and then to not be believed.

Lately though I’ve been in the market for a couple good dingoes to help me lower my grocery & cell phone bills.

“Don’t have kids unless you plan to eat them.” That got me several thumbs down in Yahoo! News comments one time.

Don’t _give_ them anything. It only encourages them. Charge them for the toothpaste they use.

I can tell you’ve had kids. They really are just parasites.

Lots of people die in house fires too. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t the occasional murder under those circumstances. Not that I think she did it, only that an inquest with probabilities won’t prove anything.

I know Streep is supposed to be good at that sort of thing, but as an Australian, I have to say: worst accent attempt ever.
