With parenthood comes a deep, deep yearning for certain things you don’t get anymore. It’s a yearning that’s almost inexplicable. It’s a desire that is so all-consuming words fail you. Yes, parenthood changes the definition of “desire.”

Hamish and Andy are an Australian comedy duo. This week they turned their attention to new parents: specifically, the things new parents miss the most. The Parents Fantasy Hotline will fulfill your deepest desires — and make you die laughing. It’s phone sex… for parents who miss their freedom.

Hello? Parent Fantasy Hotline.

Sorry, I’ve never called one of these lines before so I’m a bit nervous. Umm… I just want you to… just tell me about your weekend.

You just decided to go like, you didn’t have to get someone to come over to your house to look after things? You just…

I just got up and walked out.

Phone sex, new parent edition.

It’s funny because it’s true. A few months after the birth of my first child I was waitressing when I overheard a woman say to her boyfriend at the end of their meal:

“I don’t feel like going home yet. Wanna go to a movie?”

I was consumed with jealousy. Consumed.

The Parents Fantasy Hotline doesn’t exist. But it should.
