And next year, he’ll be old enough to go to sex-ed class

You remember Alfie, don’t you? He’s the newly made thirteen year old father that loves playing games that he’s actually not old enough to play. Wellllll, now that’s only a kinda.

A DNA test cleared Alfie of fatherly responsibility, but rather than celebrating his freedom by spending the diaper money on beer and hair gel, he’s reported to be “devastated.” No one knows who the real father is, either. But with the youngest candidate removed, it makes this following statement non operative:

“It’s an indication that we’ve lost our way, that people don’t know the difference between right and wrong,” said Sir Bernard Ingham, former press secretary to former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. “The plain fact is society can’t proceed on this basis. I think this is an indication of broken Britain.”

Of course, a girl is still a mother at age 15, and even worse, she has no idea who the father is, but you know, that kind of shame is a dime a dozen, certainly doesn’t rise to a moral crisis. Even better, now Alfie gets to celebrate “Not a Father’s Day!”

Be ready for the Lifetime adaptation, everyone

It’s not easy being a single parent, especially when you’re surrounded by babies left and right. Clearly, we’re taking on more burdens than we can sizably expect, and frankly, in this economy, sometimes that can lead to some horrible decisions. Unfortunately, that’s just not a lesson that we’re learning here in America.

However, in merry ol’ blighty, that’s just not a problem, no sirree! Yup, we silly Americans should be taking lessons from the Brits — if you’re going have a child, keep in mind these simple rules:

  1. Make sure that you have a partner. Don’t go being a parent alone. Have someone else that can help shoulder the burden.
  2. Be no older than thirteen years old.

Wait, what?

You heard correctly. A thirteen year old British lad is the proud father of a new child. The mother? A comparatively ancient fifteen. It’s cool though — Poppa Alfie expects to be a good dad. How so?

“I’ll have to work extra hard at school.”

That’s a solid plan there, Alf-ster. In the meantime, get back to playing that video game. You’ll have plenty of time to be a great father once you’ve complete one last mission.

Do you see that, Britain? HA! Guess America’s not just the only country with bad parents, huh?
