yesterday my neighbor and I were standing outside with our dogs talking about dog stuff and about how much they cost going to the vet. My dog is rather old and needs heart medicine. Now, neither one of us have or want children and that is why we have pets. Our neighbor, who lived on the corner, passed us, was walking back and forth, carrying in a variety of groceries and things, I jokingly said, my dog is worth so much I could have bought a house. And we both kind of laughed about this. Our neighbor on the other hand, who was carrying a bag of potatoes, stopped and looked straight at us and began to talk, he talked about how one child has more worth than any animal, no matter what they are and how children can grow up to do great amazing things and how we need to support the next generation and have kids. Well. Before I could even open my mouth to make a sound, my friend came absolutely undone on him. Talking about how all the horrible self-centered adults we have on this planet were children, They are somebody's babies and they grew up to be abusers. They grew up to be narcissist. How they were once children themselves and grew up to put their hands on other children. She went on to be very explicit on the list of things. Well, he dropped his bag of potatoes, and was standing there with his mouth open, he then just walked away. Think goodness, he now avoids us like we have the plague. He even started parking on the other side of the building.
