Tempest in a Teapot

I really wish I could write like Dooce. Somehow she manages to say what I’m feeling so much more clearly than I ever could. She’s expecting her second child & has this to say about having kids:

“…these risks and these sacrifices, I think, are a fundamental component of this unique experience that has given me more insight and understanding into other human beings than any other of my life. And all of this is to say thank God we chose to have children. …

“So much more makes sense now, and I don’t know if there is any other way I could have gained this type of insight into life. And I think this is what a lot of us are talking about when we say it feels like we were let into a secret club, a club we didn’t know existed until we got here, like we had no idea there was this much to know until our children showed it all to us.”

Yeah. What she said.
