Anyhow, as usual, nothing I said gave my daughter the slightest pause. Still, I can't complain. Better a kitten than a baby. Either way, I'd have no choice but to love and protect and care for it, if need be, as if it were my own. But kittens grow up fast.
Babies can take forever.
I hope I never have to be a parent to my grandchildren. I'd much rather tell my children how to do it.
