Ma and Pa Kettle

I've spent a lot of time travelling all over the state this summer. More than I can remember or count or even make sense of. And whereever I go it seems people are having kids. Crazy, that is. Little ones, big ones. Quiet, loud. Even ones with enormous heads.

It's either that or people are talking about having kids. Big ones, little ones, quiet, loud. Though no one has mentioned the big=headed thing before they have them. I think that just kinda happens.

There is a point to all of this. I don't mind small kids as much as I used to. They kinda grow on you, apparently. Now, you'd think I'd be all for children seeing that I work in public education. But I was never a fan of the under 5 crowd. But I must be growing soft in my old age, they seem much better than I remember them.

Kids these days, they grow up so fast.
