      Isn't this identical to the who is the company idiot question (clue if you don't know who it is, it's you)?

        Since my children were born I have been less grumpy. But my hair has gone from brown to grey.

          Grey hair and baldness are hereditary, you get then from your children.
          I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

                Since they were born I've become more grumpy. What rules me the most is being interrupted in the morning by one of them bursting in or banging on the door when I have my morning dump. Grrrrrrr.

                  Since Saturday morning, I've been the happiest I've been in a long time

                    you cross dressing again?
