Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Babies, Babies!

I can’t believe how much my attitude towards children has changed. All day at the airshow today we were in the souveniers booth, so a lot of the customers had children. I was turning to mush every time. “AWWW what a cute kid!! Den, did you see how cute that kid was?!” I took photos of several. Then I’d look at him and say, “What’s wrong with me??” Heh.

At one point one of the guys who was working with Den asked us if we were planning on procreating in the future. We said yes, Den said, “Yeah, we’re trying.” The guy then went on about how you have to not “try,” that the only way to get pregnant is to give up. …. Thanks dude. ‘Preciate it. He was actually a really nice guy, but I changed the subject after that and simply refused to respond. I’m just going to tell Den to stop volunteering the info that we’re trying to people who don’t know us very well, simply because it irks me so bad when they say that crap. (It is crap, btw. It’s a fallacy of logic; just because B followed A does not mean that A caused B. It’s also a fallacy in generalizing a truth based on a few incidents which could very well have been a very small minority. But anyways. I don’t think people really care about that… when I try arguing/explaining based on fact they brush it off and repeat themselves. Ehh. Whatever.)

    Heh. I read that initially as “give it up.” So I’m sitting here reading the “doesn’t mean A caused B” going … uh … yeah, sex does cause pregnancy >.> I’m so clueless in the morning.

    And I know what you mean about kids! Man, newborns especially are mine right now (go figure). I used to think they were pudgy ugly little guys – special, but ugly – and now I keep surfing for newborn pics and practically crying cause they’re SO DAMN CUTE. *lol*
