No, no. Nothing like that. It's just weird to see friends wheeling around their baby strollers and think about all of the messed up stuff I've done with them over the years.
Well, yes, I do mean continue to do whenever possible. My parent friends, though, feeling the physical strain of reining in anklebiters, don't get to do as much of that stuff as they used to.
marriage, like romantic love before it, is an elaborate social fiction rounded into shape by the crashing waves of generations past to ease and if necessary coerce the uninitiated into procreation. this fact hit me like a ton of bricks on my wedding day when my father informed the assembled party that in the math of the old country, 1 + 1 = 3.
