I was at a certain drug store this morning (the one that sounds like "fallbeans") and discovered that they sell a "DNA Paternity Test" for home use! Who knew it was that easy!? On TV they always have to take a swab of the inside of your cheek or a sample from a hair brush or something. But the cops always do it...or a special medical genetic office type place. You almost never see mom and daughter settling down with a big ole' DIY kit at the kitchen table with mom saying, "Okay, Brittany. Now we will find out just who is your real daddy! MWAHAHAH!" on the Chick Channel (sounds like...well...it's Lifetime). Am I right??
The box is rather large and it's burgandy-colored with a white shadow outline of a guy lifting up a toddler in a cute and playful manner. Like, "WEEEE! I'm your REAL daddy now!! WEEEE!"
That was rather odd.
This is a blog about us Honeys. We've been married for 6 years, live in Littleton, CO, have a Chihuahua named Dobby, a Rat Terrier named Scarlett, three awesome cats (all referred to as our Furry Kids!) and some fish.
In November 2007 I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer of the liver) and nave been undergoing chemotherapy since December '07 & Proton Radiation Therapy at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX from December '08 - February '09, and then back on eternal chemo until we get the tumor to shrink away from one salvageable vein in the liver so that it can be surgically removed. We use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our struggles, loves, challenges, celebrations, goals, ideas and the general daily grind!

Well, the kits contain some swabs, a tube to stick them in and probably an envelope. There is no DNA diagnostic kit you can do for fun at home sitting around the table during Thanksgiving. And besides your baby's DNA you would obviously have to include some of daddy's DNA for comparison. But I suppose you could pick a hair of your honey's back while he's sleeping so he wouldn't have to know. Unless you're the daddy and suspect your honey may have gotten herself in the family way with the mailman. Then you just swab yourself and junior and presto. Better yet: if you don't want to fork over the cold hard cash for the test, there's always Maury. He'll do it for free.
