I wonder how many folks would have children, if instead of babies, they came into this world as teenagers!
Population crisis solved…
Now don’t go all technical on me. Ultimately, it is only a silly thought experiment.
I am sure the thought of birthing a 180 pound high school linebacker would be enough enough to make any woman swoon. Well, maybe not Bertha. She is, after all, one of those Butt sisters and those gals are all a WHOLE LOT of womanhood.
Which reminds me of another posting of mine: Every Time I Went to Kiss Her
Perhaps instead of gestating in a woman’s womb, our children would incubate as eggs for five years before entering the world. This is how Edgar Rice Burroughs described the continuation of the red humanoid species in his Mars series. No more late runs to the store for pickles and ice cream.
And so it goes.
The bug guy came last week. He asked if we were having any problems? I told his yes, with teenagers.
