I'm really chuckling about how much you guys love to assign feelings

Honey, even if I was 25, I'd still have the same opinion, with or
without my biological clock, which is simply humming along and not
ticking like the crocodile's clock in Peter Pan!
.
Before my other brother got married, I was told, his woman (a
childhood friend and high school sweetheart) was putting the screws
on him to make a decision and fast. Sister-in-law was about 25 or
so! Is that scratching for gray hairs?
.
Furthermore, you know us writers sublimate our desires with our
writing through our characters...at this moment I'd rather give
birth to a book and not a child...that's my MAIN frustration right
now!
