BTW, I think I saw you on CBS Sunday Morning a few months ago. They were doing a story about the happiest city in the world and I think I saw you riding a bike. You, or the person who looked like you, had very dark sunglasses on with a black t-shirt without any printing. If it wasn’t you then you have a twin double there in Copenhagen.

I don’t understand why this transformation happens, but it does. Intelligent people who were apathetic or even hostile about kids are transformed into gibbering fools who incessantly prate about how amazing and pretty their kids are, and the colorful language they pick up that you think you stopped using, and how they made the cutest little turd last week. You and I are of course the rare exceptions.
