Dearest Daughters,
I asked Lolopop several years ago why people have children? I mean, really. They're just a disappointment.
This was before I had you two. I think it was a passive agressive way to get him to say that I wasn't a disappointment.
He didn't bite.
He replied simply that you have children so that you can have grandchildren.
I see how it is.
So far, the only Reals For Reals reason to have children, that I can come up with, is so that you can play with their toys. Toys that you decided you were too old for or that someone else decided you were too old for.
That noted, I will never take away your toys or allow you to get rid of them, even if there was a child who would die without your Duplo sculpture of a kidney. Perhaps, then, you will continue to play with your toys all day? And will have neither the urge to grow up nor to procreate?
I can stop this growing up thing, if I try hard enough, right?
Love,
