"vegetable sale" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

i was asked recently if i wanted to have children someday, and as i don't think the question has ever been posed so directly to me before - at least not by an older, wiser, adult - it sort of took me by surprise. of course i wasn't anywhere near as surprised as when, also recently, a woman in a store asked me if i was having a child. missy is convinced i misheard her, and that she asked me if i HAD a child - i was intently watching her son adorably wreck havoc on a shoe display - but i'm doubtful. there were two syllables there, and "had" only has one. so i am NEVER again wearing the outfit i was in that day.

but i digress. so while i didn't really have a quick answer to the above question because i'm not one for 5 or 10 year plans, and i tend to consider everything situational, if i didn't, at some point down the road, want to have children, this would be why:

c'mon, let the kids have brownies

i would hate to bring a child into a world where they couldn't experience the joy of a proper bake sale.

It would be a requirement for any children of mine to eat unhealthy food, play outside where they might risk a grazed knee or a cut finger, and, um, read stuff.

that's so silly. How about just using healthier ingredients to make the same stuff?? There's plenty of healthy and non-fattening sugar substituts that do not include chemicals. Agave nectar and brown rcie syrup are currently at the top of my list. Delicious and nutritious!
