Dave Barry's column 'Baby Hormones Have Taken Over My Wife, and All I Can Say is 'Waaaah!', he humourlsy and sarcastically personalizes his "trials" with the recent pregnancy with his wife.
(Though, first I'd say something about how long of a title he choose for this article.) Most of his comments are of his wife saying how certian things are "cute", and he continues complaining how the woman he knew before wouldn not want certain things. However, now she is all about the "cuteness factor". You can tell through the humour Barry expresses is that he can kind of be percieved as just excited for the baby as his wife is. Looking deeper between the lines, Barry is not saying how annoying all of it is, he just finds it amusing how his wife said she would not do or say particular things, but now in her current condition, almost anything dealing with children in beyond adorable. Back to reading between the lines, one might think "complaing" about Dave's wife's change in attitude could be the cover-up for over-the-top exuberance he feels about having a child. (His first one, in fact.)
With the current way society is, sometimes it is considered as weird if a father is super excided about having a baby. "That's usually the female's job," some might say. Men have to be the macho one, he "doesn't cry" about anything that doesn't go his way, or if he feels passionate about something, the stereotypical man will just say, "Yeah, dude. Pretty awesome."
However, Barry uses some examples to put his point across that are quite intertaining. "You do not question them, because they will throw up on you." One of the many examples of humour in a completely lavished article to tickle someone else's mind, in turn having them laugh histarically outloud. Hormones are described as the main culprit for the way Barry's wife acts during her months of pregnancy. He explains his wife sais she would never want a minivan, but then once the blessing came, things changed.
Sarcastically, everything is the hormones. Hormones this, hormones that. Even though Barry seems to be constantly on his wife's case, he is more on the Hormone's. Hormones this, hormones that. Everywhere there are hormones...but not just any hormones, pregnancy hormones! Through out the article, the hormones want this, the hormones want that. Purposefully, Dave does not directly say how his wife is going crazy, but sneekingly squeezes the hormones to be just infron of his wife, so she can't complain too much about what he's saying.
Sarcasim and humour are two major advantages to Barry's success as a columnest. Some might say Dave's wife might have had a lot to say to him once hearing about this article, but do we not, as women blame a lot of things on our hormones for things? So, this gives complete reign to Barry..or does it?
