Should I Have Children?
Here I am at Casa Della Pasta, which um, Gabriel—Super Sentence Man, told me is Casa Della Pasta. I have been mispronouncing this place for about four years.
Anyways, it’s my third time this week, which is kind of low. Normally I’m about four or five times during a week. Same, same dish everyday.
But I didn’t know what I was going to say on today’s blog. Actually, when you don’t know what to say, sometimes the best thing to do is just shut up and ask questions, which, um, I decided to do today.
I’ve got two wonderful people I’m having lunch with. Lois Fisk over here, and um, just asking Lois questions about having children. Whether I should have children.
So, I don’t have any children—I’m wondering if I should have children. So, but Lois has been very helpful. Helping me understand where having children fits in with life. So, and in fact the other person I’ve been lucky enough to ask for his input is my number one eagle, Steve.
Okay, Steve, what about having kids?
Steve: Oh wow, that’s a big topic. If you’re married, then you think about it. And you talk about it with your husband or your wife.
Bill: What about money?
Steve: Don’t worry about money. Yeah, the children are important.
Bill: Yeah, because everybody thinks “Oh, I can’t afford kids, they’re too expensive.”
Steve: Yeah, that bothers me when I hear that.
Bill: Okay. It kinda gets in the way. Yeah, okay. What about you, Lois? Money ever an issue?
Lois: Um, I don’t think we ever thought about how much money we needed to have before we start having children, no, no. ‘Cause then you’ll never have enough.
Bill: Alright, see—I really don’t have to think of anything great to say. My friends can come up with good topics to talk about.
Sometimes the best thing for me to do is just shut up and listen.
See you next time.
