Kid (s)

There's lots of talk about having a second kid. It's all, Oh, your child needs a sibling! and Oh, we always wanted two! Other stuff I hear, "Don't have two. Now THAT really changes everything. Your life is put on hold completely." and "Are you gonna have two? No? Good. We always cringe when we run into a friend with her two kids. It's chaos. You don't even want to be around them. It's endless."

But now, as I watch Gene Simmons Family Jewels—the episode about how their family came to be—I almost decide that I could deal with the HELL that is a contraction...again. I almost think, "Kids are can be so fucking unbelievably awesome! RX is beyond! We could have more of that!"

Kids are a slow-creeping drug that catches you in a claw of love that pulls harder than the purest china white.

Good luck to all of us who continue to stick to the idea of One.

Two is a beautiful thing. I know how close I am to my sister, and I can't imagine being without her. I also find comfort when I think of my children having someone who shares a common background with them after their parents die. Peace in that.
