Avoiding the G-Word*

Christmas Eve conversation instigated by my mother:

Do you still think you don’t want kids?

Yeah.

Why?

Well, I don’t really like them.

You seem to like Emmit.

I do. But he’s different.

It’s different when they’re your own, too!

What’s wrong with your grandkitties?

They are cats, Laura. Not grandkitties. Cats.

But they’re like toddlers! They get into everything, they put everything in their mouths…

You can’t leave a toddler at home by himself all day!!!

See? That’s why I would be a terrible mom!
