Just curious.

About a day younger than I am now, ALWAYS.

Frazod most definitely DOESN'T want children.

I've got a story about this...

My dad had a vasectomy after his third boy. Two years after that, my parents got divorced. Two years after that, my dad remarried a wonderful lady and they decided that they wanted kids. Dad had the vasectomy reversal surgery... twice. They tried for about twelve years to have kids - going to the fertility clinic, etc - and it never happened for them. After 12 years, they both came to grips with the sad fact that they would not be able to have children together.

About 4 years after they had given up, my step-mom wasn't feeling right. She thought she was going through early menopause but she got a home pregnancy thing, just to rule it out.

It was blue.

They got in the car and high-tailed it to the base hospital (my dad's a military retiree by this point) and went straight to the lab. My dad says, "We need to get a blood test for my wife to test for pregnancy!" The guy behind the counter says, "Sir, we're on a base-wide 'down day' today, so we're only here to cover emergencies." My dad doesn't miss a beat and say, "Son, I turn 50 years old in a week and a half."

"Bring her on back, sir!"

I'm 33... my little sister just turned 5. She's 6 months older than my son.

You're too old to have kids when you can't take care of them or give them the love, attention, discipline, etc that they need. My dad and my step-mom are positively doting parents. Nobody could look at them and how they parent my sister and say, "You guys shouldn't have..."

And, with that simple exclamation, Kyle's insomnia problems came to a final, blessed end.

Mine, too.

If I had a kid, I'd probably be driving a minivan instead of a Mustang. I'll stick with the car - it won't try to put me in a home 30 years from now.

If I had a kid-

Shit, I don't even want to think about it.

Although if my ex had have had a kid, it would've taken about a billion dollars worth of paternity tests to convince me it was mine.

Unless it was readily apparent, of course.

Well, she wasn't discriminating. She slept with white guys, black guys, mexican guys. Probably some women. I consider myself fortunate that our sex life deteriorated, because I don't want to think about the 'melting pot' I'd have been poking around in.

Hey...there's nothing wrong with having a minivan, as long as your other car is a manly vehicle.....

You really should just kill the bitch and get it over with. Hire Robert Blake's lawyer.

You truly believe that, don't you?

I can go one worse: When my son was about two years old I actually had a sober, coherent thought... and it said, "You know, mini-vans are actually pretty cool..."

In my defense, we had just driven from Las Vegas to Houston with a two year old in the back...

The funniest thing is, I'm not the least bit angry about it. Total dry humor. I think it's funny how fucked up she was.

You? Angry? Why would anyone ever think that?
