My wife had to go to the dentists office the other week and I came along with our baby. I was waiting in the reception area and all the staff were saying how cute he is and one old lady said "oh he's cute now, but just wait until he's 5, he'll be running around going crazy. Little homewreckers is what kids are, just spread germs and break everything."
I have a feeling she doesn't know what a homewrecker actually is.

Sikim hıyar desem, tuzla koşarsın.
If I say my Dick was a cucumber you would come running with salt.Bahtsız bedeviyi çölde ayılar sikermiş.
An unlucky Bedoulin will be strawberry floated by a bear in the desert.Sikilmiş götün davası olmaz.
There's no need for a trial after a strawberry floated arse.
