This is a shout out to my sister and BIL who return home tonight from their honeymoon (you’ll recall, I have my second vacation of the year planned in the airport parking lot. Considering taking some of my son’s glow sticks from his Halloween stash to set a relaxing mood as I dive into my Star magazine since burning candles in a car is probably inadvisable?) In any case, my sister and BIL have watched our children. Once. When recapping the evening the following day, she said, “I don’t know if this was your intention, but we are never having children.” She then went on to say she didn’t know where the baby’s piercing screams were coming from, and I could hear my BIL chiming in in the background, “Satan. Obviously Satan.”
I am all for using things you have around the house to make creative and fun Christmas gifts. So why not make use of your children this upcoming holiday season? If you know someone who isn’t quite ready to take the plunge or who might at least benefit from being able to make an informed choice, consider gifting your children for a few hours. Or, if you are on the other side of the fence, offer to take someone’s kids for a bit and give the parents a break. It’s a win-win for everyone and perhaps the cheapest, most effective form of birth control out there. Which is truly the gift that keeps on giving, in so many ways 😉
