Spawning o_O

[melchar]

Sitting here in the happy afterglow of a massage [purrrrrrrrs] - I find myself pondering parenthood. There are some folks I don't think should own a pet, much less have kids. But then there are people I know who would make marvellous parents and have all this problem actually spawning.

That's just not fair.

I mean, when someone actually -wants- to have kids, _and_ would make great parents, IMHO they should have perfect pregnancies and get to deliver the spawn;et without pain.

Of course when it comes to me, I plan to remain completely spawnless and just look approvingly on my chums who -do- procreate. ^_^

Well in my case, I remember in vivid detail exactly what sort of hell it was to be a kid. [in my case a smart kid who was mercilessly tormented because I was ... a bit odd.] I would not want to subject any spawn of my own to that sort of misery. Add to this that the 'modern' world has not become a kinder, gentler place in the interim.

And you never get over the torment

Sometimes I'll wake up at 3 in the morning and for some reason start obsessing on some slight from my school days, and actually get tears! Major suckage, that.

I loved the way you would sometimes tilt your head to one side....it shows in your school pictures. And I never would have listened to Benny Goodman if not for you.

[smiles] Ah yes, my 'what the heck is going on' expression. Thanks for remembering. And 'Sing, sing, sing' is still my favorite jazz piece. Yay Benny!

Now one of the things I remembered about -you- was that you actually seemed to like your family. This was astonishing to me at the time. [and I still only know less than a dozen chums that came from 'functional' families. Must've been nice.

And you had [may still have] a _killer_ laugh!
