I cannot believe how much noise attends the presence of families. Mothers in particular are incredibly loud. Why do they think everyone within hearing range needs to hear them attending to their children?
I have occasionally thought of having a child. Occasionally, as in when I'm singing a Cat Stevens song or making some pesto and thinking: It would be fun to share this with my daughter or son.
It never lasts long.

Oh man, I sooo could have written that last paragraph myself. Find a friend or family member who lives nearby with kids. That way, you can enjoy them whenever you want and then ship 'em back to mom when you're done. Since reproducing is the thing to do in my family (except amongst me and my siblings--somehow we missed out on that gene, I guess), I have lots of cousins to pick from. Oh, and because you're always nice to them, they tend to like you more than they do mom. LOL
Bingo. I can't wait for my brothers to have kids. I'm going to be 800 percent Aunt Allison and spoil them silly. For now, I'm very happy with Oliver as my baby. :)
