on a recent trip to the dentist, the assistant girl asked me a little about myself. After I answered a few of her questions she said, 'oh so you're a DINK' and I said 'ohh kay?' and she proceeded to explain that I was a person with Double Income No Kids. She was pretty proud of herself and made a few snide remarks. I asked her if there was an acronym for the self employed with limited fertility.
She looked embarrassed and busied herself with the instruments. I think people with these types of occupations have to have bits, like comedians. Lines they repeat over and over to different crowds. I like to think she went home and thought up a new bit.
it seems like we pass a lot of judgment on others regarding offspring. so many. so close. none? so soon. what took them so long? another! they put there kid in that shirt?
it's something I'm vowing to quite worrying about. will you join me?
Amen.

Totally agree, but sadly, hard to do.
