Hey, a little sleepy head.

You've been begging us to put together a list of the softest, sweetest, sleepiest,

read the stories on the planet.

So we're going to tuck you in with some of our best.

I hope you enjoy.

Here's the first one.

My sister's insane $200,000 surrogacy bombshell left me speechless,

and I don't know what to do. Take the 200 grand and run. For most of my life, my sister Alice

has been wanting kids, but has been unable to carry a baby to full term and part due to endometriosis.

She was in a lot of pain and had to have a hysterectomy. Alice and her husband Ben have fostered five children and have adopted two children with

autism and are great parents.

That is a ham, son.

Pretty good, I would say.

Five kids, Samaritans.

They have a great home environment and are financially very well off.

But recently, Ben and after a while Alice were bitten with the urge to have a kid biologically related to them because they wanted a chance to, quote, do things right and provide the best start in life. We've helped all these and these foster kids. But we really want to do it right this time. You know, we don't want to... All these kids that we have are really... All this baggage.

Who's got time for it?

So, they came to me. They asked me to be their traditional surrogates. And they said they would cover all costs, legal, medical, etc. associated with it. They would also be paying off my student debt. Pretty good. That sounds great. renting a two bedroom apartment for three years plus giving me a substantial amount of cash.

Yo, that that's, student debt. Pretty good. That sounds great. Renting a two-bedroom apartment for three years,

plus giving me a substantial amount of cash. Yo, that's, that's pretty great. Hard to beat.
