Jesli najwieksza zaleta wczesnego rodzenia dzieci jest to, ze szybciej masz je z glowy, a najwieksza zaleta poznego rodzenia dzieci jest odwleczenie tej mordegi, to czyz zupelna rezygnacja z dzieci nie stanowi najlepszego rozwiazania?

hesitated, thinking of all the ways I could change the subject, then made a spur-of-the-moment decision that I was finished with small talk and surface conversation and diversions and lies of any kind, no matter how small.

If I ever wrote a book on divorces, one of my first suggestions to parents would be: Get rid of the second (or third) wife in the background when you're talking to your child--at least some of the time.

But I also knew in my heart that I wouldn't cover for my son if he committed a terrible crime. Any crime. I wouldn't lie for him. I wouldn't obstruct justice for him.
