you're not the boss of me.

i'll pay you cash money if you can explain why the window between "you're too young to have kids" and "why don't you have kids yet?" lasts approximately 3 femtoseconds? (*please check out the fun-filled facts regarding units of time at the bottom of this blog.)

at a recent family gathering, an elderly relative was questioning all the women around me about their young, adorable children.  i could feel my turn coming and i broke out in a cold sweat.  there was no escaping.  "so do you have any children?".  "ha no...".  "well, you're not getting any younger".

sigh.  i have so many reasons for not having children, the least of which is being incapable of getting a guy to stick around longer than the human gestation period.  unless there was a guy was willing to support me mentally and financially (or to find an appropriate gentleman for me - preferably this guy), and well... i just can't accomplish the physical part alone, so the odds of me having children anytime soon are pretty slim.

*fun-filled fact about time:
          FACT: a "jiffy" and a "shake" ARE in fact scientific units of time!  a "jubilee" is a biblical unit of time!  a jiffy is "the amount of time light takes to travel one fermi (about the size of a nucleon) in a vacuum", a shake is equal to 10 nanoseconds, and a jubilee is 50 years.  thanks, wikipedia!
