Last time we did that, it was centuries ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When we came to pick up Ethan, his grandpa was letting him play with a ball pen with no cap on, which I told him thousand times NOT TO! Not that it&#8217;s hazardous, just people don&#8217;t use pens to write anymore nowadays, and one day when you have your own children, you don&#8217;t want them to refuse to communicate with you just because they don&#8217;t know how to text. Better start training them to text.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The next day while we were running out of any suicidal games we could play at home, Ethan started to ask for pens. I knew it was going to happen, so I didn&#8217;t try to disobey. Because the price I need to pay for not following his order would be so much bigger than the consequence of having him poke his eyeballs out with the pen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, I handed him a pen with some scrap papers. I showed him how to write his name and draw a few items, like star, car, train, flower. When I was done with a rabbit, I said, &#8220;Look, Ethan, a rabbit with loooooooooong ears.&#8221; He focused on it before turning his head to me and said, &#8220;Meow Meow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seriously, if I was told that his own child would be the one who points out how wrong he is with no mercy, and there&#8217;s NO WAY WHATSOEVER to confront, I might reconsider the thought of having kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday, when Ethan was at his grandparents, Matt and I had a chance to catch a late night movie, meaning by the time the movie was done, it&#8217;d be<a href=\"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/2010\/09\/29\/this-is-why-my-kid-might-not-want-kids-of-his-own\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":834,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-son","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=481"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":842,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/481\/revisions\/842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/family.ohsweetday.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
