Baby Face

Children is something I get asked about a lot (or interrogated, depending on the person).  Joe and I are on the "no kids" path right now, but plan to reconsider the option in about 3-5 years.  However, I find people do not like this answer.  Most responses are:

"Oh, you'll have kids." with a smug smile and nod to any other nearby breeder.
"You don't know what life is really for until you have a kid."  (Really?  So those with no kids have never lived?)
"Do you just hate children?"  (Only on weekends!)

I've also noticed people ask the most inappropriate and rude questions when it comes to children.  I mean, we all know it is rude to ask people's age (specifically a woman's), but people will still ask my and Joe's age and debate how long we have to have kids.  They will ask about my weight and cycles to weasel out whether I am infertile or not.  If I was, why would I share that with the world?  What is it about the decision to have children that suddenly makes people rude?

I've tried explaining I am in law school, not exactly prime time for being pregnant or having a newborn.  Many people have done it and successfully, but it is not for me.  I want to focus on my studies and my marriage.  School is stressful enough on a marriage, let alone throwing in a baby.

SO, I have decided, rather than answer the rude "When are you going to have kids" question, I just say, "I already have 2!"  So, without further adieu, here are my adorable children:

Leo!  he is the cutest sleeper, like a bunny.

 Here is his cute face.

I mean, these little guys wake me up in the middle of the night to pee, drink water, or just because they want to snuggle.  They are basically children!  Except, you know, you can crate them, put them outside, and they cost significantly less.  PLUS I kept my figure.
