Why You Shouldn’t Have Children

I was talking with my 4-year-old the other day and she said, “Mom, when I grow up I don’t want to have any children.”  “Why not?”, I asked. She answered, “Because I don’t want anybody growing inside me.”  “Interesting”, I commented. Then she added, “And besides, I don’t want to have to wipe anybody’s butt.”  “Oh!”  Then she asked, “Mom, do you LIKE wiping my butt?” I wanted to give her an answer that wouldn’t scar her for life (not “Gaaaak! I hate it!) but one that would at least be truthful.  So, I said, “It’s just one of those things that has to be done. I don’t mind.”  And you know what?  She does NOT remember that story to this day.
