My sister is having a baby pretty soon. I don’t actually want to be there for the person coming out of another person part, but I can at least contribute to easing the discomfort of the final weeks. So for a baby present I bought her Seasons 1-7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I know I did right because her birth plan now looks like this:

1. Water Breaks
2. Contractions Start
3. Go to Hospital
4. Watch Buffy
5. Have baby
6. Lots and lots of drugs
7. Sleep
8. Buffy/Baby

I guess if there’s one person who can help you feel tough as nails, it’s Buffy.
