you know you wanted to have children because there's nothing else like having children and you have resolved to try anything once drugs, countries, racing, dancing all night, threesomes, kids the thing is, once you have kids, you can't have nothing else having kids is like having this repetitive job where your mates are slightly dumb (but they're growing on you) and there's no time off ever and the pay is scarce but you were promised that one day you will get a miraculous reward may be in ten years, may be later so you can't complain or your reward will be smaller or nothing at all it's not as simple as lack of autonomy you are an extention of their anatomy having kids is like having a second heart outside of your body and it constantly hurts but they do give you answers to life's hardest questions because they keep asking you life's hardest questions at 7am and you have to go searching for carton of milk, clean clothes and a meaning of life they teach you to say i love you they teach you that your strength is finite they teach you that your strength is actually infinite they teach you to be santa and tooth fairy and mother of dragons and everything there is to know about robots and vampires they teach you that you are the most beautiful, wise and love-deserving human on earth but your life worth nothing mom, what day is today? and what happens to us when we die?
