Just sayin’
April 22, 2010
Tonight we were watching a Law & Order where a girl in college had been wrongly accused of murder, and the mother said to the attorneys, “Please, do whatever it takes to help her, she’s my only child”. It got me thinking about only children, and I’ve decided that if you are going to have a child, you might as well have two. That way, if one does end up in prison, or falls victim themselves to a Law & Order-type crime, or is just altogether boring and/or hateful, you have a second kid to sink all of your love and affection into.
For the kids’ sakes, they will always have someone else to blame when something goes wrong. They will have someone to play and/or fight with when you’re getting your manicure or lying on your shrink’s couch, discussing how tiresome it is to be a parent.
Two kids = win-win situation. If you’re going to have them at all. -K
P.S. Jerry Orbach (Lenny) is my all-time favorite L&O character. He was in 274 episodes and it’s possible that I’ve seen them all. RIP, Jer.
