Mom and Law Student?

A kid's seventh heaven and a parent's ninth circle of hell. This post is about things we do that we never thought we would do, and then we had children. I sometimes think the changes we experience when we reproduce are akin to a lobotomy. Example supplied in the following exhibit:

EXHIBIT A: We spend large amounts of $$ to go out into 95 degrees under the hot blazing sun. In this heat we stand in 20 minute lines for 60 seconds of being whipped around in an air conditioned go-cart, to see a barrage of stuffed, plastic, or projected cartoon animals singing, spinning, dancing or jumping out at you. Then after your 60 seconds of fun you are lined up and funneled through the racks upon racks of merchandise for said cartoon animals, where you get to hear "I want that" 900 times and then you're back out into the hot sun all to do over again, and again, and again. You do this until you are starved and dehydrated, and of course never fulling packed or prepared, you are forced to purchase mediocre food & drink that cost more than that fancy restaurant you went to for your last anniversary, and you don't even get the alcohol.

But we love our kids and for at least a day we get to be experience all their excitement and all the love they have for us b/c at least for a day we are the best parents in the world
