At first glance it might seem that Noah's sixteenth birthday party was the worst party ever, but considering some of his past birthdays, this one will probably be at the top of his list. Yeah, his girlfriend got yelled at and kicked out of the house, but on the upside he got a nice car out of it. Now at least he and Eden will have a place to do the nasty without stumbling into his entire family at once.

I fail to see what good it does to forbid Noah from seeing Eden when his parents turn right around and let him go off on his own the very next second. Where exactly do they think he's going to go? They pay about as much attention to him as they do their respective jobs. And Noah knows it; he's so brazen he flaunts his defiance in public at Crimson Lights every day of the week where he's sure to run into at least one family member at any given moment. Heck, Noah knows as much about his parents' whereabouts as they do his. He told Eden he thought his parents were at work, yet Sharon quit her job at Newman Enterprises over a week ago.

Not that Sharon and Nick have much to go on in the parenting department. It's not exactly a well known skill in this town. Now that Billy is contemplating fatherhood he's getting advice from about the worst possible examples. There's Jack who never met a kid he couldn't abandon quick enough. I was actually a bit frightened for Cordelia while Jack was holding her, I though he might ship her off to Vietnam or call Diane to come and get her. And I had to laugh when Jack said the baby had "his father's chin." John Abbott's chin? Really? What does he mean, covered in drool over some gold digger? Come to think of it, that probably is what he meant.

Then there's Victor like he's some paragon of parenting virtues. The two children he raised are complete morons and the two he didn't raise are a spoiled little brat and a guy in jail. That's not exactly the kind of guy you want telling you what it's like to be a father. And now, he's going to be a father yet again? Will Victor still be impregnating women ten years after he's dead? It's nothing short of a miracle that this man pushing seventy has gotten yet another woman knocked up even when the woman in question is almost fifty. Apparently, there are two things that never happen in Genoa City: birth control and menopause.

And what the hell were Victor, Billy and Ashley doing sitting around in Brad's house anyway? I don't know about you but I rarely if ever go to my enemies' houses. Colleen must be a better person than I am because I would have told them all to get the hell out. She certainly didn't do herself any favors being so gracious since they all decided to sit around and hang out there even after she left.

What's with the marriage marry-go-round on this show? Men are proposing marriage before they've even had a chance to call their lawyers and draw up divorce papers. I feel so sorry for the county clerk. He or she must have a hard time keeping up with all the paperwork. At least the jewelers are having a good year.
