While having a profound thought about diapers today I suddenly became amazed that motherhood is not something you need to apply for. So I'm kidding about having profound diaper thoughts, but that was on my mind when the latter came to mind.

It is perhaps the largest responsibility one can take on, (next to the guy who has the job of deciding whether or not to press the red button to release the nukes). We make people take a drive test before letting them on the road alone. We test fast food employees' pee for evidence of drug usage. When adopting a pet from the animal shelter you have to write essays and convince the organization that you will take care of the animal you choose.

But motherhood is a choice (sometimes a surprise) and no one can take it away from you.

This post is lame.
