So every once in a while someone will ask me if I'm absolutely certain I don't want kids and my stock response is "I better be since I can't." But sometimes I do wonder. I've never yet had the urge but I wonder if it will hit me at some point ("better not, since I can't").
So anyway, I'm on the shuttle home from work yesterday and there is this woman with a kid sitting next to me. The kid isn't really misbehaving, just being a bit squirmy and whimpery.
Then I realize I am thinking to myself "you know, now that I think about it, Children of Men doesn't seem so dystopian." In such unsheltered moments we see into our souls and I was reassured.
