以前，我總跟人開玩笑說，一般做父母的，多半是糊裡糊塗懵懵懂懂的就有了孩子。孩子來了，既沒有【使用手冊】，又不能【退貨】，都是就硬著頭皮，邊學邊做父母過來的。而做了父母的，跟著得的就是健忘症，從不對人說，生養孩子的苦，只用那滿足幸福的神情對人訴說孩子帶來的樂趣，引得人總嚮往圓滿家庭生活。等到自己有了孩子，才知道說那些話的父母都得了健忘症，而，很不可思議的，慢慢的，自己的健忘症也越來越嚴重。
美國黑人諧星 Bill Cosby 在他很受歡迎的家庭喜劇裡說過這麼一段話：「神是第一位父親，而讓人有兒女成為父母，是神給人的懲罰，讓人也知道做父母的難處。」那雖是笑話，但我總猜想，神若是早告訴人，生養兒女到底是怎麼一回事，人類恐怕早已絕種了！哈～
其實，我並不反對有孩子的。只是，錯過了時機罷了！我們早已過了那個初生之犢不畏虎的年紀，自問自己還有那精力再折騰至少二十年嗎？這麼一想，也就作罷了！哈～說穿了，也就是懶吧！
Here's a funny poem about having kids. Have a good laugh!
This Be The Verse - by Philip Larkin
They f* you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were f*ed up in their turn,
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
