Good points, as usual Kearny.
Gamble and buy into the marriage/kids thing or go materialistic. Yep...
It’s amazing the sheer numbers of people (including couples) that have pets filling in for human children. I love it when “mom and dad” take “the kids” for a walk.
Gag...
Thanks.
I take no delight in pointing these things out; in the larger scheme of things I find it very depressing. The demographic consequences in my area are shocking; many of my children’s friends are foreigners (from Egypt, Bangladesh, Latin America) who all have siblings and no pets.
