So, I met my niece, Camilla,(http://www.kovd.tumblr.com/) for the second time today. It’s crazy to marvel at how fast they grow. In a recent conversation with a friend, we were discussing gestation of every other mammal and how their offspring come out ready to walk and almost forage on their own. Human babies come out and they are almost still larval. Their exoskeleton has yet to harden. They need to be constantly tended to. They aren’t able to run, they don’t have any teeth and their communication skills are limited to burping, screaming and cooing. I’m excited to have kids someday. I’m terrified, and have no desire to do it right now. I could not responsibly rear a child right now. But when the moment comes, I feel that I will be better prepared than most. All for now.
Skål.
