More than a feeling

Why do we have children? Is it to entertain ourselves? Is it to get a tax deduction? Is this a question I ask at two o'clock in the morning when changing dippers? No, I know that having children is a right of passage and a celebration. We do not have kids so we have someone to keep us company or to prove how great we are. How do kids feel about being born? Let me tell you that having a child is the closest to perfection you will ever know and the closest to God you will ever get. Kids are ok with being born. They are ok with you being the parent. Kids are not out to get you. "A thing tis nether right nor wrong but thinking make it so." Shakespeare. When I change Arielle at four o'clock in the morning it is the best time of the day and the best time of my life. Posted by Picasa
